Student life
Georgian is a great place to live and learn. Make friends and share good
times. Students' Administrative Councils help make student life fun and
meaningful. Each council has many responsibilities, one of which is creating
a diverse social calendar to enhance students' learning experience. The
executive members, student directors, class reps and staff are dedicated to
providing great activities and services. Pubs, concerts and barbecues are
only some of the year-round activities open to students at Georgian.
Orientation
Let's get connected! ConnectU is more than just your first day at
Georgian. Look for events throughout August, September and into your
first year. Orientation provides an opportunity to get the information you
need and make connections on your first day. On Orientation Day, plan
to attend the welcome event and your academic program session. It is a
great opportunity to meet faculty and students from your program and
learn how to succeed. Before the semester even begins, you are invited
to come out to a Get Connected session in August to get to know your
campus, and have the opportunity to obtain your student ID card,
parking permit, connect with Student Success, and attend an IT session
on how to use Banner and Blackboard. Look for ConnectU staff
throughout the year, helping you stay connected. For more information:
