Laurier Off-Campus University Students (LOCUS) offers a variety of programs throughout Orientation designed to help off-campus students get connected, feel supported, and build community from the very start of their Laurier journey.
Kick things off at our Off-Campus Welcome Day, where you’ll meet other new students living off-campus, learn about life at Laurier, and start building meaningful connections right away. You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with your Off-Campus Advisor (upper-year student mentors) who will support you throughout Orientation and the academic year.
LOCUS also hosts additional events and activities throughout Orientation, creating more opportunities to engage, make friends, and feel part of campus life, no matter where you live.
To learn more and explore everything planned for you, select your campus below to view the full schedule of LOCUS programs and events.
Note: All Milton students are considered off-campus students and part of LOCUS. There is no separate Off-Campus Welcome Day for Milton students; instead, they participate fully in the Milton Undergraduate Orientation schedule.
In addition to LOCUS-specific programming, be sure to explore the full Fall Undergraduate Orientation schedule for your campus so you don't miss out on other exciting programs and activities available to you!
