University’s first-ever fall break arrives October 27 to 30

The 2016-2017 year at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) comes with a new feature to the academic calendar: a four-day break from classes in the fall semester. Many Ontario universities have implemented a similar ‘co-curricular’ period in their calendars in recent years.

No classes or exams will take place from Thursday, October 27 through Sunday, October 30; however, the university is open during these days and students will have access to all facilities and services. The Office of Student Life is offering a number of activities for students such as writing workshops and the Campus Connected workshops.

• A list of co-curricular activities for students is posted on the university’s events calendar.
