Orientation for Rainy River District Campus (Fort Frances)
Join us for the Rainy River District Campus Orientation
Tuesday, September 3rd!
A New Student Orientation will be held on Tuesday, September 3rd starting at 11:00 a.m. CT at the Rainy River District Campus, free lunch included.
Note: Most programs also have program specific orientation with the faculty program coordinator on Tuesday, September 3rd beginning at 8:30 a.m. CT. Join us on campus for program specific orientation. Other programs will hold program specific orientation during a regularly scheduled class within the first two weeks of the semester. Watch your college email for more information about college orientation.
At orientation, you will receive a package that will provide you with detailed “need-to-know” information about the campus and about being a Confederation College student, including any updates to your timetable/course schedule. You will learn how to use Blackboard and other college systems. Important paperwork will also be completed. Plus, we will host a free student lunch. It will be a great time to get to know fellow classmates, faculty and staff. Please plan to join us for the day’s events.
For most programs, the first day of classes will be on Wednesday, September 4th.
There are a few things you should do to prepare for orientation and the first day of classes. Be sure to pay your tuition and fees and register for your fall semester courses. If you need any help, please come to the campus and one of the staff members will help you through these processes.
Please bring your college ID number, username and password when you come to orientation or if you come in for payment and registration assistance.
