ONGOING ORIENTATION ACTIVITIES
We recognize that you may be approaching the transition to University with some
trepidation. Attending Head Start orientation is a good first step in the process, but
we will continue to support you throughout first year in a variety of ways including:
1) BUILD (Bridge to University for Individuals with Learning Disabilities) Program
www.uwindsor.ca/build
This program was created to ease the transition to university for students with
documented learning disabilities. During this FREE multi-day program held
during the last week of August, students are provided with vital information and
support through orientation workshops, peer mentoring, academic skills training,
and one-on-one advising. Visit the Student Disability Services booth at the
information fair this afternoon or apply on-line via the website. Space is limited.
2) UWindsor Welcome Week (August 31 - September 6, 2014)

therefore required for all first-year, full-time students. Remember that getting
engaged on campus is critical to the success of new students.
Additional Windsor Welcome activities will occur beyond the first week of
September. Join us on Facebook for updates: “New At UWindsor 2014-2015”

Student Handbook 2014
Tips for Success
1. Plan your course schedule ahead of time
If ever in doubt about a course, log onto myUWindsor.ca and check your degree
audit to see what courses are required for your program. An academic advisor
will also always be willing to help you! The Degree Audit or DARS evaluates your
progress towards fulfilling the graduation requirements for your program of study.
2. Visit your TA and Professors during office hours
This is the perfect opportunity to clarify any concerns you have about the course
content or an upcoming paper or midterm. Even if you don’t have any course
content related questions, introducing yourself to the professor or teaching
assistant can definitely be beneficial.
3. Turn off your Wi-Fi while you are in class
You don’t want to miss important material for assignments and exams and it is
definitely distracting to the people around you. Social media and the internet can
be distracting!
4. Form a network of reliable peers with whom you can study
By creating a study group with your peers, you can quiz each other on course material,
compare your notes and even take enjoyable breaks. Even if studying with others is not
conducive to your particular learning preference, it still would not hurt to get contact
information for one or two peers in case you miss a class or have a question!
5. Sleep regularly and eat a well-balanced diet for best academic performance
Achieving balance in university is very important. It is very difficult to perform well
if you are running on four hours of sleep and a chocolate bar! Instead of cramming
for your midterm the night before, study in increments in advance, get your eight
hours of sleep and eat breakfast!
6. Use a day planner/agenda
Your professors don’t know what other courses you are taking or when other
professor’s midterms are, so it is up to you to keep track. Stay organized and on top
of your studies.
7. Get involved on campus
Whether you are a resume-builder, an activist or just someone who wants to go out
and make some friends- there is definitely an opportunity for you! Check
www.uwindsor.ca/volunteer regularly for opportunities.
Student Handbook 2014

STUDENT HELP & SUPPORT INFO
8. Don’t be afraid to explore other faculties
Figuring out what you want to do for the rest of your life is not going to come to you
overnight, so don’t be afraid to take electives or courses from a different faculty to
really see what you like. Your academic advisor can help you down different paths
and majors!
9. Take care of your emotional and mental health
Good grades and being involved are very important, but your number one priority
should be your mental health. Without your mental health, you can’t achieve those
great things of which you are capable! Make sure to practice self-care and use the
resources on campus available to you.
10. Never be afraid to ask for help
There are various resources on campus to help you succeed. All you have to do
is ask for help. At the end of the day, you are the master of your journey and your
success. There are many different resources to help you along the way!

Top 5 Tips for Transfer Students
You are considered a “transfer student” if you have attended another university or
a college and have, or will be receiving, credits towards your University of Windsor
degree from your past institution.
5. L
earn about the University’s academic rules and regulations. This includes,
but is not limited to; learning how to understand; your Degree Audit, how your
transfer credits apply to your degree, course registration and reading the
Academic Calendar.
4. A
dvocate for yourself and your past education. Although there are staff, services
and transfer policies to assist you, you will be responsible for asking questions
regarding your transfer credits and ensuring you get all of the information and
assistance you require.
3. M
eet people and get involved on campus. Introduce yourself to people in your
classes, join a club or sport. Because people may already have established
groups of friends from previous years you will have to work a bit harder to meet
people but it will be worth it!
2. If your degree allows for it, try taking a new subject. If you are coming from
college you may not have had the opportunity to try classes outside of your
program, so now is the time to explore new interests.
1. E
xpect things to be different, especially if you are coming from a college. Class
sizes may be bigger (or smaller) that you are used to, professors will have
different styles of teaching and you may notice that you are required to do a lot
more outside of the classroom. Be prepared to embrace the change and find the
positives in it, like being able to participate in research and being able to select
courses that you are specifically interested in.
You are encouraged to contact the Transfer Student Support Advisor (in the
Student Success Centre), Lynn Charron, for academic support and assistance and
referrals to Faculty Advisors. She can be reached via email at lcharron@uwindsor.ca
or by phone at 519-253-3000 ext. 3977.
12 Student Handbook 2014
Top 5 Tips for Mature Students
5. G
et involved on campus, and include your family. There are plenty of events
(sporting events, holiday parades etc.) that are family friendly, so bring everyone!
You will feel more connected to campus which will help you feel more connected
to your studies.
4. F
igure out the way you learn best. Things have probably changed since the last
time you were in school, both in the way you learn and the way the university
functions. Take the time to understand the university policies and expectations
of your professors and take the time to learn about yourself and how you can be
successful here.
3. M
anage your time. Your likely have many more things to think about that a
traditional student does and it is important that you spend enough time on all
the areas of your life. Create a schedule that will work best for you to be able to
stay on top of all of the important things in your life an stick to it! Make sure to
speak to your family and friends about how much time you will have to dedicate
to school so it isn’t a surprise when you have to study or prepare.
2. S
hare your experiences. You may feel like you are surrounded by “kids” and
that they don’t really care about you or what you have to offer but you may be
surprised by how much they actually are interested in what you have to offer. You
have a lot of life insights and experiences to offer and that can go a long way with
someone who is younger than you. You may be more important to someone in
your classes than you ever expected.
1. B
e proud! You have accepted the challenge of coming back to school and you
should be very proud of yourself. Take the time to recognize that you deserve to
be here and although it may not always be easy you can do it!
You are encouraged to contact Advisor, Marty Lowman (in the Student Success
Centre), for registration, academic support and appropriate referrals. You can reach
Marty via email at lowman@uwindsor.ca or by phone at 519-253-3000 ext. 3950.

fulfilling the graduation requirements for your program of study), grades,
exam schedules, registration appointment times, manage their UwinCARD
and more
• Enables students to order software from the software depot using a credit
card or UwinCARD
• Allows students to search and apply for awards
• Enables access to the Windsor Essex Community/Portal
