Prepare for your first week of classes by learning how to navigate your campus and find each of the classrooms on your timetable. The Classroom and Building Location Information explains the abbreviations, locations, and building names of each Conestoga Campus. 

Visit the Student Success Portal to explore services 

The Student Success Portal (SSP) is a centralized platform that allows students to access information about student services, self-book appointments, sign up for events and activities, view appointment consultation notes, and access resources. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the Student Success Portal so you know how to access information, ask for help, and get involved in your community.

The Getting Started Series offers new students a menu of interactive workshops designed to support their successful transition to the Conestoga College community. Register for workshops and events to help you understand how to use technology at Conestoga, enhance your writing and learning skills, get involved in the Conestoga community, and more!
