New Student Orientation sessions
Register for the following bonus sessions when you register for NSO.
Navigating Essential Technology Tools at Lethbridge College
1-1:45 p.m. Sunday or Monday, IB Theatres
In this session you will learn where to check your schedule, make changes to it, and to understand the requirements to graduate in the future. You will also be introduced to Canvas, the learning management system used for most course activities and assessments at Lethbridge College. An Academic Advisor and a Digital Learning Consultant will walk you through these technology tools.
The Peaks & The Pits: How to Keep Climbing
2-2:45 p.m. Sunday or Monday, IB Theatres
The transition into college can be challenging, but you are not alone. This session will help you recognize the rhythm of a College semester: the peaks and pits that students do not always expect. Wellness and Academic services are available to all Lethbridge College students so join us to learn how to access support to keep climbing.
Learning Outside the Classroom
3-3:45 p.m. Sunday or Monday, IB Theatres
"What else have you done?" is the question employers will ask. Second year is too late, you need to start now. Learn the how, the what and the why, to get ahead of the pack.
Welcome Space for new and returning International Students
No registration required for this session.
Sunday September 1 & Monday September 2, Noon-4 p.m., CE 1305 (Richardson Oilseed room).

Questions can be directed to: Studentexperience@lethbridgecollege.ca
September 1 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
While new student orientation is specific to our new students, we think it's important for family supporters to have one as well. We invite parents, partners and families to attend a special one-hour orientation session just for them. Family orientation provides tips to support your student through the growth and challenges ahead.
Advanced registration is required. Coming soon.
As an international student, you are required to attend a special orientation and welcome. For more information and to register please visit the Lethbridge College International Services pre-arrival checklist page found here.
