Orientation Week
All incoming Trinity College students are encouraged to participate in Orientation Week, held each September 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.

Hi! I’m Sally, the Trinity College Orientation Coordinator for 2023. Allow me to share a little about myself – I am an international student from South Korea and am currently pursuing a major in political science here at the University of Toronto. I love photography, dogs, and Trinity College! Working alongside an exceptional team of Orientation executive members and leaders, our collective objective is to deliver an orientation that is not only enjoyable but also promotes inclusivity and safety for everyone involved. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you at the upcoming orientation in the fall and might even see some of you this summer! |

The TTC posts its fares online (Links to an external site.) for everything from single tokens to weekly and monthly passes.
Post-secondary students can purchase a discounted monthly Metropass (Links to an external site.); a Metropass allows you unlimited travel in a specific month on all regular TTC services. If you purchase a Metropass, you must obtain a Post-Secondary TTC Student Photo ID (Links to an external site.) as your discounted Metropass is only valid when accompanied by said ID; there is a small fee for the photo ID card.
The TTC offers priority seating (Links to an external site.) on all TTC vehicles for customers with disabilities.
Service Updates
Stay up-to-date with TTC delays and service updates by following the TTC Notices Twitter account (Links to an external site.) and find real-time schedules of buses, trains and streetcars using the Transit App (Links to an external site.)
GO Transit
The GO Transit (Links to an external site.) system is the regional public transit service for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, with routes extending to communities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
Fares
GO Transit posts their fares online (Links to an external site.). You can use a PRESTO card (Links to an external site.) to obtain added savings. With PRESTO, the more you travel, the more discounted the fare is. You can also use the PRESTO card for the TTC in place of tokens. Information on GO’s Student ID is available on the TCard website.
Most students take a GO train or bus to a TTC subway station and then take the TTC to Queen’s Park Station (Links to an external site.).
