Parents and supporters all play an important role in helping their loved ones throughout their academic studies. Attend this session to learn more about college policies, financial aid for students, campus safety, and the overall experience a student can expect to have when they attend our campus.

Learn how to get connected to the services and support you need to be successful throughout your academic studies.

Returning to school can be a really big deal for mature students.  If they have been away from formal schooling for some time, it is easy to have doubts as they start a college program.  But, we know that mature students bring a lot of life experience with them that can help them navigate any challenges they face.  To ensure mature students get off to a good start studying at the Pembroke Waterfront Campus, we invite them to attend an informal session with our campus counsellor, Shannon Sevigny, to learn tips on how to be successful in college.

During this time block, there will be different sessions happening around campus to help students with preparing for classes including campus tours, Centre for Accessible Learning appointments, Students’ Association information, textbook pick up, and more!

Lunch is on us! Join us in the Student Commons for a free lunch. 

Did you have an I.E.P in high school, or are you a student who has a documented learning disability? Ensure that your accommodations are in place for AC Day One by registering with The Centre for Accessible Learning. We are running information sessions followed by live registrations every thirty minutes from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.

If you are not able to attend orientation in person, the programs will be offering a virtual academic orientation. Links to the virtual orientation sessions will be provided closer to the orientation date. 

Welcome to Algonquin College’s Pembroke campus, and for some of you, the City of Pembroke. If you’re moving to Pembroke from out of town, take a break from unpacking and join us for a FREE barbeque on campus. If you already live in Pembroke, join us to celebrate the start of the school year and meet new friends! Families are welcome. 

The BBQ will be from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday, August 30 at the front patio of the campus.
