Your time on-campus
Events and Sessions for All Students - Check Back For More!
These events and sessions are intended for all Community-Based students!
Sunday, July 6, from 10 am to 4 pm
Join Dr. Jennifer MacDonald the day before classes begin for a Place-Based Learning workshop. More details will be confirmed soon! For now, here is a similar workshop that has happened in the past:
Place-based learning is relational and holistic and can support educators and learners to be at home within an ecological web and deepen connections with all of life. This session is aimed at supporting pre-service teachers to consider the layered components of having and building experiences that honour life and living in their different disciplines and contexts.
Lunch and resources will be included.
Spots are limited, so please register asap!
This program is made possible by a generous donor to the Werklund School of Education.
Advising by Appointment
Status: Optional
When:*
- July 2025 Dates TBD: Check Elevate for Availability
Where: EDT 230 (Map)
What: Do you have advising questions, from transfer credit to degree progression to registration troubleshooting or program regulations? Meet your Advisors in-person to discuss! Due to high demand and previous orientation feedback, we have shifted to an appointment model, ensuring that your advising time is reserved for you!
Booking: Book your appointment via Elevate, using your usual eID login credentials. Appointments will open to booking in mid-June, just preceding your time on-campus. Appointments typically run for 20 minutes - if you feel that you need more time, please email us at upe@ucalgary.ca so that we can get you booked appropriately!
Note that the dates and times listed above are appointment blocks reserved specifically for Community-Based students! We will still be offering other appointment and drop-ins for all students during your time on-campus - check out our contact page to see if those times may work better for your schedule.
*Some Community-Based students may have courses or other Summer Series sessions running during these times - please check your schedule, below, and book your appointment during a non-conflicting time!
Important: Your classes and Summer Series sessions such as 'Field Experience Information' take priority over advising! Can't find a time that works for you? Email us at upe@ucalgary.ca, if you're hoping to meet while on-campus, and we'll see what we can do based on Advising Team availability (keep in mind, we may be running other orientation sessions!). Do know that we offer year-round advising via Zoom, so feel free to connect with us before or after the Summer Series, too!

Submit a photo online to have your Unicard printed for you ahead of arriving on campus: submit your selfie, now!
