Start Here for Second Year
Returning for your second year may feel very exciting - you have a year of university experience now.
Perhaps it will be your first time physically on campus. You may be wondering how you will find your classes, how to use dining services, or how to attend in-person classes in a safe way. Or maybe you found online learning challenging last year and you are anxious about classes this year. If you were one of the few students who were on campus last year, you may be worried about adjusting to more people being on campus. Maybe you are wondering how to make friends or get involved now that more on-campus services and experiences will happen. You might be curious if there are summer and orientation events for you as a second-year student.
We are here to support you, no matter what you are feeling. This page is a great place to start. If you have any questions, please connect with us at start@uoguelph.ca.
