Classroom changes and winter weather
Classroom changes can sometimes occur in the first weeks of school. You can verify classrooms by consulting your schedule (Omnivox → My Omnivox Services → Course Schedule.) Any changes would be reflected there.
With winter weather in full swing, if the College is forced to close, you'll get a mandatory document on Omnivox. Otherwise keep an eye on the updated list of class cancellations on the Dawson website.
New students may like to join the First-Year Experience Program! Visit the First-Year Students' Office in 2D.0 or email us at firstyear@dawsoncollege.qc.ca to get more info or to let us know you’re interested. We’ll be in touch before our first event.
