We’re thrilled that you’ve chosen to join us in the fall! Whether you’ve accepted your offer in June or made your decision earlier, we want you to know what you can look forward to between June and September.

We’re getting ready to welcome you into the SJU community, and we’ve planned special events and programs to help you feel at home even before you start your studies.

• You’ll see September Orientation events on the list for all Waterloo students to anticipate, but at St. Jerome’s University we add an extra dimension – our Orientation Investiture Ceremony. At that time we’ll take the warm SJU welcome you’ll experience every day and make it official by presenting you with your own SJU pin to celebrate the beginning of your new university life and your full membership in the SJU community

You’ll want to take a look at these upcoming opportunities and reminders about items you’ll need to check off your list:

• If you’re not an Ontario high school students, arrange to send us your final transcript.
• Request your fall term classes/check your schedule. If you’ve accepted an early offer, we want you to know that we’ll be sending you information and instructions about class selection right before you’ll need it in June. It might seem like a long way off, but we want you to know that we haven’t forgotten about you – we just need to wait until all of the offers have been made so that everyone can select their classes together. And of course, we’re happy to answer your questions any time.
