About us
The Welcome Centre is a short-run transition program for incoming students new to living in Calgary. We open every year in August and January and close before the term begins.
At the Welcome Centre, student staff are available to support incoming students by directing them to campus resources and preparing them for the term. They can also assist with transition needs, like adjusting to living in a new city, accessing resources pertaining to finances, accommodations, things to do in Calgary and more.
