Your Continuing Studies at UVic experience is just around the corner and you may have questions about your program, the campus or the city of Victoria. Continuing Studies is pleased to offer a New Student Orientation Day with a variety of sessions to set you up for success. Sessions will be held each September, January and May at the start of each term. Information is provided for both domestic and international students. Please review the details below for upcoming sessions and other helpful information.
As the Certificate in Business Administration (CBA) and the Diploma in Business Administration (DBA) programs are non-credit, students are not eligible to attend the University of Victoria general orientation. This is why Continuing Studies is happy to offer our own Orientation Day with information and events catered to our students’ needs.
Before your program starts, please review this information:
