Undergraduate Students
Orientation for undergraduate students is comprised of the following events and programs:
Summer Orientation

Summer Orientation is a half-day session and will take place every Friday and Saturday throughout the month of July, starting July 2. Learn more »
Common Reading Program
Throughout the summer, you will participate in the University of Calgary Common Reading Program. In July, all new undergraduate students will be mailed the same book and asked to join the online discussion, as well as enter a reflective response contest to win free textbooks for a semester. During Fall Orientation Week, you will participate in a group discussion about the book.
The selection for 2011 is Little Princes, by Conor Grennan. Stay tuned to your mailbox for your copy!
