Orientation - uOttawa

In order to help you get the most out of your week of courses, on the campus of the University of Ottawa, we invite you and your parents to an information session scheduled for Sunday May 3, 2026. On the day of the orientation session, you’ll be shown your classroom and you’ll be able to meet your professor. You’ll have the chance to learn a bit more about your week on campus, your mini-course and university life. The session will last approximately one hour, and you’ll find the schedule below.

Navigate campus confidently with our interactive maps, including parking lot locations (free on May 3, 2026).

Parking spaces are limited, so please allow extra travel time. Lastly, parking on the University of Ottawa campus will be free for the orientation day.

Should you be unable to attend, we will see you on Monday morning, May 4th as of 8 a.m. at the University Square. From there, we will be able to help you find your classroom.
