New Students
Welcome to all incoming Faculty of Arts students for Fall 2024! Please see important information below which will be updated throughout July and August. We look forward to welcoming you on campus!
The transition to university is an exciting time, but it can be a challenging time, too. There are a number of things you need to know and are able to do during the summer months, before classes formally begin in September, to make this transition as smooth as possible. Here are eight ways to prepare for the start of classes.
Your online ID gives you access to a variety of online resources including Gmail, MyServiceHub, D2L Brightspace, etc. You must activate your online identity 24 hours prior to adding and enrolling courses on MyServiceHub.
Visit the CCS website (opens in new window) for information on how to activate your online identity.
Important: Students are required to set up Two-Factor Authentication for security purposes. Please visit the CCS website (opens in new window) on how to set up Two-Factor Authentication. Students should download the Google Authenticator app on their mobile phone or a U2F security key can be purchased from the Campus Bookstore which can be plugged into your computer and provides authentication for two-factor logins.

Parent/Guardian Orientation - Faculty of Arts: This orientation session is designed to elicit your support in building an engaging and positive learning environment for all Faculty of Arts students – your children. As a Guardian or a Parent, it is important that you feel that you do your very best to support your child in their transition from high school to university and beyond. When is a Guardian/Parent's work ever done? We understand your role in your child’s life. Together, we will explore ways you can offer support to your child at the right academic time with the most appropriate specialized resources. More importantly, you will gain some techniques on how and when to initiate difficult conversations with your child regarding their educational progress and career decision making. This session will be facilitated by Sonny Wong, the Faculty of Arts Registered Psychotherapist with a focus on Career Identity Development. Since 2008, he has been offering individual career counselling exclusively to Faculty of Arts Students assisting them in fostering healthy career identities. Date for parent/guardian orientation session TBA.
