New Student听Students entering the Faculty of Management for the first time are required to attend an Orientation and Advising Session during the last week of August, at which time the staff from the BCom Student Affairs Office provide information on all aspects of the BCom program. Students who have had difficulty registering for their courses have the opportunity to resolve their problems after this session.
Academic Advising

Appointments may be made as of October 1, to discuss programs of study with student advisers. In February or March, an Information Session takes place that aids the student to select a course of study for specialization. In April, students continuing in the BCom Program plan their studies for the following year using the requirements as listed in the Calendar, or in the Degree Evaluation or (MyProgress for students who entered after Fall 2019) available through Minerva, as a guide to their course selection. Advice is available at the BCom Student Affairs Office for students having difficulty.听
