Fleming College

Fleming College will welcome new students to the Sutherland Campus July 11-15 to help them “Get a Jump on September” before classes begin.

Students will have the opportunity to make arrangements for financial aid, parking, meal plans, lockers, student identification and more. The college will offer student and parent sessions designed to support the transition to college and guided tours of the campus, residences and the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre.
