Important fall-semester dates at Thompson Rivers University
Some important dates to circle on your calendar and save in your phone
GETTING TO KNOW YOU Just off Student Street in Old Main you’ll find Students Corner under the stairs. Inside, you’ll find a ton of helpful information, activity, encouragement, positive mentors and a helping hand.
Monday, Sept. 2 — JumpStart is a special day on campus where some services are open during the stat holiday. Get a head start on your semester! Tuesday, Sept. 3 — TRU’s new student orientation is going to be bigger and better than ever! New students will join in for a high energy welcome, a campus tour, barbecue, games and a resource fair where you can learn all about life at TRU. Also, join other students in your program for an Academic Open House where you will meet faculty and get familiar with the campus.

Friday, Oct. 25 — The last day you can withdraw from a course in the fall semester.
Friday, Sept. 6 — The Back-to-School Barbecue takes place every year on the first Friday of classes. The barbecue includes free food as well as music, entertainment and games. Also, there are tables set up with loads of information that will come in handy later in your semester.
Dec. 2 to Dec. 14 — These dates are set aside for a very important event — final exams. Although the exact date and time of exams for your specific courses won’t be posted until halfway through the semester, it’s a good idea to start thinking about them now. The more prepared you are, the less all-night cramming you’ll have to do.
Friday, Sept. 20 — The last day to apply for most TRU scholarships, bursaries and awards.
