Getting your housing sorted early will make the transition to college much smoother.

If you’re planning to apply for OSAP or bursaries, don’t wait until the last minute.
Applying early helps ensure:
- Your funding is processed on time

You can also explore scholarships, bursaries, and work-study opportunities available through Fleming at our upcoming Financial Aid webinar session.
5. Get Excited for Orientation and Welcome Events
Orientation is one of the best ways to meet new people, learn the campus, and settle into student life before classes begin.
You’ll get the chance to:
- Meet classmates and faculty
- Explore campus resources
- Join clubs and activities
- Learn tips for academic success
- Make connections before your first class
Even if you’re nervous, showing up can make a huge difference in feeling comfortable during your first weeks. Keep your eyes on your email for event details closer to the beginning of the semester.
6. Start Preparing for College Life
College is more than just classes. It’s a new routine, new experiences, and new independence.
Over the summer, you can:
- Organize your schedule
- Learn basic budgeting
- Plan transportation
- Buy school supplies
- Connect with future classmates online

The more prepared you are now, the easier your transition will feel in September.
7. Complete Your NARs (Non-Academic Requirements)
Depending on your program, you may need to complete Non-Academic Requirements, also known as NARs, before placement or classes begin.
These can include things like:
- Immunizations
- CPR or First Aid certification
