Services for Conestoga College Students

The Laurier-Conestoga working partnership offers Conestoga students who attend classes held at Laurier’s Brantford campus select access to Laurier Brantford support services. As a Conestoga student, familiarize yourself with the following list of Laurier resources available to you.  

Athletics and Recreation

Opening late summer 2018, the Laurier-YMCA will be the new home for Laurier Brantford's Athletics and Recreation Department. The state-of-the-art facility will offer a variety of recreational and competitive opportunities to support your health and wellness.

Computer Access

You will have access to Laurier computers with a personalized on-campus computer login. Use your Condor-ID to log in to the Laurier Wi-Fi or for printing on campus through PaperCut.  

The Hub and Stedman Community Bookstore

The Laurier Brantford Hub offers a variety of services for students including printing services, tech products and on-the-go convenience items. Right next door is the Stedman Community Bookstore where you will find a variety of stationary items and Conestoga merchandise.

OneCard

The Laurier OneCard is your multipurpose student photo identification card. Pick up your OneCard at Service Laurier Brantford, with valid government-issued photo identification, and use it to:

• Check out books at the Brantford Public Library.
• Gain access to the Laurier-YMCA Athletic Centre.
• Gain swipe access to the 24-hour student centre.
• Load convenience dollars which can be used towards printing costs at PaperCut or The Hub.
  • Note: Your card will be automatically loaded with funds for printing services each term.
• Receive student discounts on public transportation and full-time students can catch a free ride on Grand River Transit buses.

Note: The Laurier OneCard is not the same as the Conestoga One Card; as a student attending a program at the Laurier Brantford campus you will only require the Laurier OneCard.  

PaperCut

Print, copy and scan using the campus-wide print management system Papercut, available to you in the libraries, print labs and on the public access copiers on Laurier’s Brantford campus. Printing and photocopying require funds on your PaperCut account.
