New Student Orientation

Welcome to #OldsCollege!

This page has been created to help you through your first days on YOUR campus.

  • This required online orientation provides you with information about services & support on campus, campus housing information, and RESPECT training. All Olds College of Agriculture & Technology students must complete this orientation before their program starts. It doesn’t take long and will provide you with a lot of very helpful information! 

  • Start the International Student Orientation Course before your arrival in Canada, then some modules will be completed after your arrival. If you have any questions, contact International Services.

Welcome Week

Your first week at Olds College of Agriculture & Technology can be stressful, so we've created events and activities to help you feel at home & confident about your new surroundings! Information about these activities will be sent to your student email through the weekly newsletter.

Note: All returning students who are not beginning a new program should follow their schedules and attend classes as usual.
