A unique workshop designed especially for parents and guardians of college-bound students

The structured portion of the "For Parents Only" workshop takes place in the morning of each of the planned "Start Right" sessions.

The afternoon is set up so that parents and new students can take care of other important start matters such as:

  • checking out meal plans
  • registering with the Centre for Students with Disabilities
  • applying for financial aid and bursaries
  • touring campus facilities
  • getting photo IDs, lockers, and much more.

The 2009 For Parents Only workshop is free and includes workshop materials and free parking.

All Start Right and For Parents Only sessions run from 9:30am to 12:30pm. Self-directed activities run from 12:30pm to 3:00pm. Check-in begins at 9:00am
