You may be wondering why, after being accepted to the University of Toronto, you are now receiving all of this information from Vic-toria University. Victoria University in the University of Toronto comprises two colleges: Victoria College and Emmanuel College. U of T St. George campus (downtown) is divided into colleges; Vic-toria College is approaching 3300 students. You will hear us change between Victoria University and Victoria College, but mostly we just say “Vic”! Fortunately for you, Vic has always been known as one of the most welcoming and beautiful colleges on campus. Wel-come to your new home!

Here at Vic, we have a flourishing and active student community. There is no end to the number of clubs, activities, and other re-sources available to you here. At Vic we are proud of our diverse, friendly, and accepting atmosphere, and we welcome our profes-sional faculty students – Engineering, Music, and Phys Ed – as they are a vital part of our community. In addition to the great people, Vic also has the nicest quad on campus, historic residence buildings, and a beautiful theatre for student events. These unique features provide a quiet hideaway amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto. At Vic we know how to have fun, and Orientation Week is only the beginning!

What is ORIENTATION?

Orientation strives to be inclusive, accessible and safe. In order to help us reach this goal, please let us know about any accessibility needs and/or concerns, allergies or medical conditions that you think we should be aware of. There is a place on the online registration form at vicorientation.ca where you can let us know this infor-mation, or alternatively, you can email the Orientation Student Co-Chairs at [email protected].

As one of the bigger colleges at U of T, Vic has the resources, dedication, and passion to provide some

of the greatest events you’ve ever seen. Vic is known for having a wonderful Orientation Week, a tradition we have always been proud of. With all the events we have planned, we’re in no danger of losing our reputa-tion! Your level of participation is up to you, so check out the schedule to see what interests you!

Orientation Week is a great opportunity to become familiar with Victoria College and its community.

Every year the Orientation Executive strives to provide a wide variety of events that appeal to everyone. This year we are continuing to offer academic information sessions to help you navigate your first year at univer-sity. From the Registrar’s Academic Welcome to the transitional seminars, you will find everything you will need to become acquainted with academics at the uni-versity level.

a Quarter to VicNow that you know a little more about Vic and Orientation Week, you might be wondering why the cover of this e-booklet says “A Quarter to Vic: Victoria College Orientation 2013”.

Every Orientation Week has a unique theme and logo. The theme is what sets your Orien-tation apart from all the others that have come before and will come after. The logo will appear on all sorts of Orientation materials you will receive when you arrive here such as the very popular and fashionable Orientation t-shirts that all incoming students, Orientation Leaders and Executives, Dons, student council members, and staff wear during the week! So what is A Quarter to Vic, and why did this year’s Orientation Executive choose it to be your theme? It’s helpful to look at our theme from two different angles: the name and the logo.

When time came to select this year’s theme, the exec was faced with a challenge. We all agreed that we wanted a theme that would express and encapsulate everyone’s expe-rience and what it meant to all of us – as first years, leaders and everyday students passionate about the college we call home. Once we started talking, we realized that everyone had a different story, a different experience to share. It was this that got us thinking; Orientation isn’t about creating an experience, it’s about helping you make your own experi-ence and start a new chapter in your own stories.

This being said, though we may all have different stories, places we come from, values, all of our stories are what

come together to create a history; a collective of different stories, events, discoveries, and contributions that ultimately define who we are as a community. Everyone that has called Victoria College home has helped create the welcoming community it is today and you too, will have a chance to contribute to the story of Victoria College.

We felt that “A Quarter to Vic” represented perfectly the chapter that you are just about to begin. Your time is here and that it’s your chance to make write your own story. To rep-resent our week, we have chosen a sundial to symbolize the start of this new journey. To us, it’s a representation of possibility. A tool created to help realize potential; it represents discovery, innovation and ingenuity and going forth to the great unknown. We hope that similar to this timeless object, your experience here at Victoria College will last you a life-time and help you on your own journey ahead of you to new. We hope that Orientation will give you the tools to discover your own potential and what Victoria College has to offer.

a message from the Orientation Student Co-Chairs

I remember the first time I stepped foot onto Vic campus, long before Orientation Week, during Open Vic actu-ally, and at a time when I was unsure whether or not I made the right decision in choosing UofT, let alone Victoria College. It was a nice (but chilly) morning in spring, the vines seemed to engulf every surface of the buildings here, I heard birds chirping and it seemed to be the most beautiful feeling. I was intimidated, overwhelmed, and perhaps anxious about coming to a new place where I knew nobody. Now here I am, three years later, having no doubt in my mind that I chose the right place. I could never have foreseen, on that chilly spring morning, exactly how much I would grow to love Vic, and how much it would mean to me. I’d like to echo what a close friend of mine once said, that “Victoria has become more than just a school to me, and Orientation more than just a week”. I wholeheartedly feel this way and I hope that one day, you do as well. - Komal

From the moment I announced my decision to attend UofT, I had never experienced so much doubt. Though at first I was uneasy with my decision, it didn’t last long. From the moment I arrived at my own Commuter Orien-tation, I knew I had made the right choice. One of the unique things which makes Victoria College such a re-markable place are the people you will find here and my fondest memories will always involve the extraordinary people I have met—in the most random ways if I may add. It is hard to find a place where everyone is so friendly, approachable and accepting of who you are; and it are these similarities, and differences of every individual which contributes to the unique culture and spirit of our college. It was Commuter Orientation and Orientation Week that helped me realize this about Vic, as well as my own potential and impact on this amazing community. I hope with every bit of my inner Victorian that you will also one day be able to walk onto Vic campus and have the same feeling of ‘Home Sweet Home’ as I do. - Jenny

Our goal is to help you find a home at Vic, and to echo that you are always welcome here. Here at Vic, you will meet some of the most amazing individuals and create some of your most cherished memories. You’ll be valued, challenged, accepted and appreciated. You’ll grow, learn, try new things and explore new places; all of which starts at Orientation Week.

In this e-book, you will find more information about Orientation Week itself, in hopes to bet-ter prepare you for what’s to come. During O-Week, we offer a diverse range of programming which is inclusive towards everyone, regardless of age, personality, or preference. The Orienta-tion Executive have been working hard all sum-mer to put the schedule together to make it inter-esting, exciting, informative and fun. We hope you find something in this schedule that piques your interest, and most of all, we hope you real-ize that Victoria College is a place where you are welcome.

See you in September! Komal Minhas & Jenny Pazio

Welcome to Victoria College, where your imagination will be unbound, where educa-tion is more than a mat-ter of degree.You are the newest members of a historic community. On our Charter Day this Octo-ber, Victoria Univer-sity will celebrate its 177th birthday. With a charter from King Wil-liam IV on 12 October 1836 (long before Can-ada became a nation), Upper Canada Acad-emy came into exis-tence in Cobourg On-tario. Four years after young Victoria became

Queen, we became Victoria College, and then in 1884 Victoria University. Six years later we federated with the University of Toronto; we moved in 1892 to our present site, and now Victoria University is made up of two colleges – Victoria College which is yours, and our theological faculty, Emmanuel College.

We have a distinguished history, and you are about to add to that distinction. Every year it becomes more difficult to gain accep-tance to Vic, just because of the growing numbers of students who want to study here. So this is a highly accomplished class; it’s also a very active and engaged class. We admit deliberately those who want to be involved in their education. What you learn, of course, is what you are graded on. But you know that’s just part of the story. Your learning does not start or stop at the classroom door; it goes on in a myriad of activities. With the same care with which we selected you, Vic has developed pro-grams to enrich your experience. We believe in a fullblooded, fully rounded education. We want to open up possibilities, to welcome you into the freedoms of mind and imagination. That’s why we have introduced our signature set of discussion groups in “Ideas for the World.” That’s the reason for the dozens of societ-ies, groups and clubs where friendships are forged. That’s why we promote international exchanges, why we insist on including a small class in your first year.

If you commute from home (and more than half of you do), there is a package of activities and opportunities, special to Vic, that you will enjoy, particularly as you make new friends. If you live in residence, you have a ready-made new set of communities waiting for you. Both commuting and resident students have ac-cess to Burwash Dining Hall for meals, where the food is every bit as good as the company.

One of the most visible developments at Vic that you will enjoy is the new Goldring Student Centre. This is one of the finest stu-dent centres in the country, and this year you are its first inhabit-ants. There will be an official opening on September 25.

Make sure, then, that you are fully part of the Vic story this year. You’ll write your own part in the story, but you won’t do it alone. In the A.B.B. Moore foyer of Old Vic, inscribed on the wall are the words of a great president of Victoria University in the last century: Education must take place in a community. A commu-nity is a place of support, on good days and in times of stress and strain. That’s where you are; this is where you belong. Welcome.

Paul W. GoochPresident

Welcome to Victoria College!

Your time in university is pivotally located be-tween growing up and being out in the world. There are very few chunks of time in one’s life when so many changes of such im-portance happen. You will be learning new and challenging mate-rial, meeting friends you will have for a life-time, feeding your cu-riosity by trying things and thinking thoughts you had not before. You will stretch your-self to become wiser and more understanding of the world around you. These may all sound like platitudes now – typical words from the Dean – but they are also true.

You have chosen to come to Vic, which was a brilliant decision! The opportunities here are many, both in terms of sheer volume and in terms of variety. Your school work and your other activi-ties will come together to make your experience enriching and fun. Your academic experience will be of the highest calibre. At the University of Toronto you will be at the biggest and best research institution in the country. You will have extremely tal-ented people as peers, and you will have a quality of professors and selection of courses that is unparalleled. You will also have many different avenues by which you can get involved, both at Vic and in the broader university. There are clubs and societies, sports teams, student government and politics groups, theatre and music groups, academic societies and community outreach op-portunities, and many, many other offerings, including our new “Ideas for the World” programme.

You are lucky to be coming to a college that places great im-portance on the overall quality of your university experience. Whether you are a commuter student (and enjoying our new commuter student experience package) or a resident student liv-ing right in the college, your time here will be memorable. There is a large and dedicated staff and a great pool of upper year stu-dents ready to help you find the opportunities that suit you. We will help you to explore your options and we will help you if you have difficulties along the way.

Vic students have the best of both worlds: a small and acces-sible college environment and a huge research institution full of all of the academic and social opportunities that these offer. All you need to do is take advantage of it all. Make sure you try new things and get just a bit uncomfortable so you can learn in the most robust sense of the term.

You’ll have a great time at Vic. University is an exciting time of making decisions and creating a life and career, and Vic is, I believe, the very best place to do so. We take seriously our motto, abeunt studia in mores (studies pass into character). You will have fun, you will learn, and you will grow. You will be the architect of you.

Good luck, and I look forward to meeting you!Kelley CastleDean of Students

The Office of the Dean of Students, located in the Goldring Student Centre, strives to support and challenge students in their personal development during their years at Victoria. We have many programmes that will broaden and enrich your university experience beyond the classroom. We also under-stand that university can be overwhelming at times, and we are here to guide students to resources that can ease their tran-sition to university life.

The Dean’s Office is responsible for the operation of the resi-dences, the commuter experience package and for maintain-ing a community where students can succeed both personally and academically. To aid in this process we have Dons for residence and commuter students. They will give peer guid-ance, sponsor events, provide information about services on campus, and they are responsible for maintaining community standards at all times. They work with the student council (VUSAC) to provide activities for the enjoyment and benefit of students throughout the year.

As a team, and in cooperation with our very active students, the Dean’s office staff works to create an environment that encourages personal development and participation in the community. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel welcome to drop by the office at any time.

The Registrar’s Office is your first stop at the University of Toronto. We are here to offer support regarding your ques-tions about academic, career, financial, or personal matters. We are also happy to clarify or explain any university regula-tion or requirement you need to know about.

If you experience any difficulty (an illness or other personal matter) that affects your academic performance in any way, make an appointment to discuss your situation and your op-tions with an academic advisor as soon as possible.

We also offer 15 minute drop-in appointments every Wednes-day morning from 10 am to 12 pm and Wednesday afternoon from 2 pm to 4 pm (subject to advisor availability we reserve the discretion to stop accepting drop-ins prior to the time noted. Please come early). The Student Awards Manager is happy to assist you with financial planning issues as well as bursary and scholarship information.

Present Day

Commuter Students

Definition:

1) Students who will be living off campus during the academic year (This may or may not include an affinity for the TTC/Go Transit/Driving).

2) 80% of the Vic population.

Victoria College works to increase the involvement and connection of commuter students to the campus, and works with student leaders and groups to help co-ordinate and sustain the vibrant campus life for which Victoria is known.

For students not living in residence, establishing links to the community can be an additional challenge, and Victoria recognizes that this sense of community is very important to the success and enjoyment of all students. For this reason, Vic offers a special Commuter Orientation Weekend that takes place prior to Orientation Week.

Commuter Dons

The Commuter Dons at Vic are here as student advisers, helping commuter students with personal, academic, financial, and social matters. They can direct students to services around the college, as well as the university and in the city. Their office is located in the VUSAC office in the Goldring Student Centre, so feel free to visit their office hours to talk. In addition, the Commuter Dons also prepare a number of social events and educational programs; they aim to help students make connections throughout the year and to make the most of their out-of-classroom experiences.

Definition:

A Mature or Transfer Student is any student who is not joining us directly from high school. All students are encouraged to attend Orientation Week! As Victoria College students, you have already paid an Orientation fee, and you are more than welcome to attend all of the events.

Victoria College will be holding a Mature and Transfer Student Orientation on Tuesday, September 3rd, 2013 in the Goldring Student Centre. The event will run from 6 pm to 7 pm, and will include a guest speaker detailing life at Vic. Speakers will outline resources available on campus, how to use the Registrar’s Office, and how to get involved at Vic. Following the speaker, we invite you to mingle with members of the faculty, the Registrar’s office, academic advisers, and current Vic students. We will also be holding short tours of Victoria College. Some snacks will be provided at the beginning of the event.

For more information on this event, please email [email protected].

Going into her final year, Jenny is studying accounting and economics in the Rotman Commerce program.

Have a question, concern, or want to know more about Toronto or U of T? The Info Hub has the answers to all your student and city life questions!

U of T is a giant school, and as such it offers a myriad of different communities, resources, and opportunities, it can be hard to keep it all straight, much less figure it all out in your first week! At the Info Hub, we have information regarding the Accessibility Centre, First Nations House, Hart House, the Multifaith Centre, LGBTQ resources, Sexual Harrass-ment resources, and many, many more. If you have a specific question or need, the Info Hub is designed to not only answer your questions, but also to direct you to websites, offices, and communities that can more directly assist you. Like all spaces at Victoria Col-lege, this is a positive space and all students are welcome.

Toronto is a huge city that we are still exploring every day! To help you get better ac-quainted with this incredible city, the Exec team has been working together to find the coolest, cheapest, and most interesting things to do and places to see around the dowtown area. Looking for a delicious place to eat or an interesting neighbourhood to explore? Descriptions and locations are provided at the Info Hub, as well as free maps to the city of Toronto. The Toronto Transit Committee (or the TTC) is an extensive transit program that runs throughout Toronto- for $3 you can cross the entire city via subway, street car, or bus! If you have any questions about this, or are unsure about connections and transfers, maps and answers are also provided at the Info Hub. Happy exploring!

Make sure you stay fed and hydrated throughout the week! A number of meals will be provided for Vic students throughout the week. The meals provided during Orientation Week will be delicious, and we will have limited amounts of alternatives for those who have special dietary needs (vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, etc).

Orientation Meal Plans - For Commuter StudentsThere are some meals that are not included during Orientation Week. For your conve-nience, you have the option to purchase meal plans from the Victoria College Burwash Dining Hall.

Frequently Asked Questions

22

Will I meet people from other colleges and/or faculties?You definitely will! The Orientation Executive have made a special effort to join with other colleges and faculties in offer-ing events. You can party down with the Music faculty first years at the Wacky Tacky Boat Cruise, and make some Innis College friends during Lunch with Innis.

What is Residence Orientation?This program is designed to give first year residence students the opportunity to adjust to campus living, interact with floor mates, and meet their Dons before the upper year students return to residence. It gives the residence Dons a chance to steer new students through important information and give them “insider tips” on making the most of university life. This year, Residence Orientation will begin in the afternoon on Sunday, September 1st, 2013 and will end mid–day on Monday, Sep-tember 2nd, 2013.

Is there any faculty involvement during the week?You will have the chance to engage with faculty members before class begins in a more informal setting throughout the week. Be sure to look at our program description in the schedule portion of the booklet. Events include: Registrar’s Aca-demic Welcome, Guest Lecture Receptions, Orientation Convocation, and Vera Victoria: Traditional Ceremonies.

What do “LGBTQ” and “Allies” Mean?LGBTQ: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer. You may also see LGBTTIQQ2S: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transexual, Intersexed, Queer, Questioning, and 2-Spirited. Allies: anyone– straight or not –who supports the LGBTTIQQ2S community or any of its members.

What is VUSAC?The Victoria University Students’ Administrative Council is your elected student council at Vic. A council of 19, with 11 elected in the spring and 8 in the fall (a few spots are saved for first year students), VUSAC puts together programming and oversees all Victoria clubs. Visit their office in the Goldring Student Centre, or website at www.vusac.ca, to find out more about your parties, educational and charity events, theatre productions and trips, clubs, the $50,000 Student Projects Fund, and commuter events!

What is UTSU?The University of Toronto Students’ Union represents and serves 41 000 full-time undergraduate arts and science and pro-fessional faculty students. They tackle issues of student rights, access to services, and campus life. Some of the services they provide include the health care and dental plan, childcare, subsidized entertainment tickets, and photocopying. To get involved and find out more, check out utsu.ca.

Well, all of this information is great, but how much is it going to cost?Here’s the great thing: the cost for all the basic programming is covered in your student fees. However, the Commuter Orien-tation and the meals for commuter students (with the exception of the barbeque on Friday) are not included in this package. Residents can use their meal plans and commuters will have the option to purchase Orientation meal plans.

So, is attendance mandatory?You’ve already paid for Orientation so you might as well come check it out. You don’t have to stay for the whole week but we sin-cerely think you will find our events useful, informative, and fun! Besides, how often do you get a week at school without homework and tests? Take advantage of this opportunity to get used to your new environment before the workload arrives. Trust us, you’ll be glad you did. How you spend your time is up to you, but we ask that you fill out the online registration form at www.vicu.uto-

Everyone will need:• Casual clothes and comfy shoes.• Theme-related clothes for each day• One outfit that is obnoxious, loud, covered in sequins etc.

• Some extra cash. Unless you have a meal plan, most meals during the week will NOT be covered so you will need extra money for food, subway tokens, etc.

• Sunscreen.• Water bottle.

Commuter students intending to stay in resi-dence during the week should bring:• A sleeping bag, pillow, and an air mattress or foam sheet. (You

will be sleeping on the floor of a residence room so please bring something to make yourself more comfortable!)

Note to ParentsIt is normal to be nervous about sending your new university stu-dent off to participate in Orientation. However, you should be as-sured that this transition period is critical in making friends, learn-ing about resources that are available, and making university a home for the next few years.

The Exec team (found in pink shirts) and the Leaders (clad in yel-low shirts) are here to guide our new students through their first days on campus. We hope to create a welcoming environment and

a positive space for all students. Our Campus Life Coordinator, Samantha Hartlen, will be present at the various activites through-out the entire week and is a great resource for students.

If you do have any questions or concerns that are not addressed in this handbook, please feel free to contact the Orientation Execu-tive at [email protected]. In addition, you can call the Office of the Dean of Students at (416) 585-4494
