Each collegiate unit will be offering new student orientation sessions throughout the weeks of August 12- August 22 dedicated to providing you with the necessary tools and resources to navigate your first year at Trinity. As for our returning students, we invite you to take note of the start of the academic sessions and other key dates for a successful start to the fall term.
