Welcome day is designed to provide new Dawson students with a first look at the tools and resources offered by the college. On your assigned Welcome Day, you will have the opportunity to:

• familiarize yourself with Dawson and the Dawson community.
• learn out about the tools, services, and support available to you at Dawson.
• find out what the college expects of you as a CEGEP student.
• connect with staff, faculty, and other new students from your program.

Your attendance will ensure that you have everything you need for a smooth start to the school term and connect you to the right resources should you be met with any obstacles in your first semester.

The books you need to buy for your classes will be listed on the course outlines provided by your teachers during the first week of classes. To find out if the books you need are available at the bookstore, login to your My Dawson portal and click on Bookstore Course List under the My College Services tab.
