Welcome, new graduate students!

New graduate students arriving at the University of Guelph are usually invited to a live orientation event at the beginning of September.

Due to the pandemic, the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (OGPS) has moved the new graduate student orientation online, at gradorientation.uoguelph.ca.

As the University will be following a hybrid format for F20 (and the majority of classes will be offered online), the GSA submitted a proposal to City Council to temporarily suspend the U-Pass contract for F20 and W21, so that the many graduate students not physically returning to Guelph would not be burdened with a fee for a service that they will likely not be using.

The Central Student Association (CSA) and the Graduate Student Association (GSA) are happy to announce that Guelph Transit and City Council have agreed to our request for a pro-rated refund for your Winter 2020 bus pass fee and late night service fee.

Student Financial Services has offered their support and will manage the refund process.
