Orientation Week
All incoming Trinity College students are encouraged to participate in Orientation Week, held each Fall before classes start. Orientation Week is an opportunity to get to know other newly admitted students, upper-year students, faculty, and staff, all while exploring Trinity College and the broader University of Toronto campus. The week is planned by Trinity College student leaders under the direction of the Office of the Dean of students and with input from community through the Orientation Advisory Committee. The week is designed to help facilitate your social and academic transition to university life. While orientation week activities differ from year to year, a number of traditional events, supports, and resources are provided annually.
Orientation 2025
The Orientation 2025 Program is being planned for Monday August 25th – Monday September 1st. While we recommend attending to all (or at least most) of the programming we strongly encourage all students to attend on Monday August 25th for our Opening Ceremony, tours, and Matriculation (a traditional welcome to the college similar in style to your convocation which happens at the end of your academic experience). More information about the schedule and programming will be available before July!
