STUDENT SERVICES – WHAT YOU NEED, WHEN YOU NEED IT Learning happens in and out of the classroom and we are committed to providing you with the best of both worlds. This includes our new 35,000-square-foot Student Services building, which provides a centralized location for the majority of our student service offerings. Office of the Registrar The Office of the Registrar is committed to providing you with a high-quality student service experience. Your first point of contact at Durham College, it recruits prospective students and provides front-line service for all aspects of the admissions process. In addition, it is responsible for several student services operations including answering questions and providing assistance with payments, account balances, the Ontario Student Association Program (OSAP), course changes and registration and manages all records for the college including academic records, credentials, transcripts and enrolment verification letters.

First-year experience Going to college is exciting and a little bit nerve-wracking – this is a new chapter in your life! Our first-year experience coordinator is on hand to introduce you and your family to the many campus services available to you throughout your first year. It won’t be long before our vibrant campus and approachable staff and faculty have you feeling right at home. To support your entry to college we offer the following: • E-Mentoring for first-year students; • Parent and family support; • Get Prepared for Success (GPS) transitional programming; and • Orientation Week programming. First-generation students First-generation students are students whose parents or guardians did not attend a post-secondary institution.
