Orientation Week
All incoming Â鶹ƵµÀ 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 Â鶹ƵµÀ and the broader University of Toronto campus. The week is planned by Â鶹ƵµÀ student leaders under the direction of the Office of the Dean of students and with input from Â鶹ƵµÀ 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.
Trinity is also proud to host students in residence from other University of Toronto colleges and faculties. These students are encouraged to attend their local academic orientations and are invited (for a small fee) to join in a number of our orientation programs. In addition events and residence programming are also hosted free of charge throughout orientation to make sure everyone has the opportunity to connect and find Â鶹ƵµÀ here at Trinity. For more information about our Residence Only Student (ROS or “roses”) Orientation Program read below.
Orientation 2026
The Orientation 2026 Program is being planned for Monday August 31st – Sunday September 6th. While we recommend attending to all (or at least most) of the programming we strongly encourage all students to attend on Monday August 31st 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!
