Muskoka Here’s what previous NSO student participants had to say: “I feel much more confidant and prepared for school in September!” “Everything I needed to know I found out in a very interactive way, viewing the school and meeting new people.” “Awesome experience!

Here’s what previous NSO supporters had to say: “As a parent I was grateful for this opportunity. NSO helped us very much. Nipissing is such a warm and caring place.” “NSO was worthwhile.

F AQ – Academic Planning
Tr ansition Planning
When can I register for courses? Registration for students with transfer credits or advanced standing will open on June 10th. Registration for all other newly-admitted students will open on June 17th.
TRANSITION PLANNING
What is the registration deposit? Before registering, you must pay a $200 non-refundable registration deposit. The registration deposit is required for all students including those with bursaries, OSAP, scholarships, or alternative funding. This deposit cannot be deferred. What is the difference between the course codes FA, WI and FW? The codes FA, WI and FW indicate the term in which a course is offered.
The transition from high school learning to a university learning environment represents a major shift in both teaching style and student responsibility. It is important for you to be aware of new expectation and some of the following differences: •
University students are considered adults, and are responsible for making independent decisions and managing their time.
•
Although fewer hours of in-class time, students should expect an increase in the required number of homework hours and independent study per course. Most learning occurs in independent study outside the classroom.
•
If a student is absent from class or falling behind on course work, the family is not notified. Students are expected to be proactive in seeking support when required.
•
Tests and assignments may cover much larger amounts of material and account for a large portion of the course grade.
•
Students are expected to be aware of curriculum requirements for their discipline and to register in the appropriate courses.
•
Nipissing is dedicated to creating a diverse learning environment that is equally accessible for all students regardless of ability, age, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, or religion.
FA = fall (September to December) and courses are typically worth 3 credits. WI = winter (January to April) and courses are typically worth 3 credits. FW = fall and winter (September to April) and courses are typically worth 6 credits. How many courses should I be registered in for each semester? Students taking a 30-credit load should register in no more than five courses in the fall term and five courses in the winter term. Students in a 24- credit load may have no more than four courses in both the fall and winter terms. What is an elective? Electives are courses taken outside of the program requirements, chosen by the student. Students often use elective credits to achieve additional goals such as majors, minors, certificates and/or teaching subjects. I am on a waiting list. What do I do? All courses allow you to place yourself on a waiting list if they are full. If you are on a waiting list and an opening becomes available, an email will be sent to your Nipissing student email address notifying you that a space is available. You will then have 72 hours to register for the course on WebAdvisor. If you do not register within the time allowed, you will be removed from the waiting list, so be sure to check your student email daily.
SEPTEMBER CHECKLIST
When will my transfer credit assessment be completed? Upon receipt of your final transcript from either your college or previous university, it may take 2 to 4 weeks to assess your transfer credits as each student is assessed independently and in their own circumstances (i.e. Previous grades, intended major, etc.). Please ensure that the Office of the Registrar has the proper final transcript and all other relevant information.
•
The following items should be completed over the course of your summer in preparation for September. Please refer to the ‘Important Dates’ section of this workbook for related dates and deadlines. •
• • • • • • •
Submit residence application and $400 deposit or find off-campus housing arrangements Enrol for courses Open student email Attend your NSO day! Have your student ID photo taken during NSO and pick up your student card from the main office in September Purchase your Frosh kit Buy a locker tag from the main office (optional) Pay first tuition installment Get booklist from the Campus Store website

R esidence L ife
Off-C ampus L iving
Residence Life at Nipissing University provides a safe, comfortable living and learning environment for students who reside in one of our five complexes on the North Bay or Muskoka campuses. At our Muskoka Campus, students have the opportunity to live in suite style accommodation. The Muskoka Residence Complex offer students the opportunity to live and learn in a small tight-knit community designed for 50 students. Students in each unit share common living room, kitchen and washroom facilities. Laundry facilities and a recreation/common area are located in each of the residence complexes.
Where you live can impact your sense of well-being, which can also influence your studies and university life in general. Make housing a priority and choose accommodation that best suits your needs and lifestyle.
Each residence complex has a full-time Residence Life Supervisor who works closely with a dedicated team of senior students known as Residents’ Council, Residence Dons, Academic Dons, and Community Advisors. Team members are trained to assist students with any problems that may arise. They offer support to residents and are on-site to lend a hand with anything from roommate issues to emergencies. The team also plans educational, social, cultural and athletic events throughout the year with the interests of the residents in mind. During New Student Orientation (NSO), one of our staff members would be more than happy to assist you in applying for residence if you have not already done so. We encourage you to take a tour during NSO and see all that residence at Nipissing University has to offer you. For more information please contact Residence Life at (705) 474-3450 ext. 4855 or visit www.nipissingu.ca/residence.

F AQ – Tr ansition Planning What is my student email? Your Nipissing University student email is the only email account the university can use to communicate with you. Your student email can be accessed through the My Nipissing Portal at www.nipissingu.ca. You can begin accessing your email account as of June 17th. Where can I get my booklist? Booklists are available online through the Campus Store website. How do I get my Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) funding? OSAP is issued in two installments of approximately 60% of your total funding being provided in the fall, and 40% in the winter. Starting late August/early September, the Financial Aid Office will send an electronic confirmation of your course registration, which will allow the OSAP funding to be direct-deposited to your bank account (as long as your OSAP file is complete). Tuition and/or residence installments will be paid automatically from your OSAP (as long as you agreed to this process on the application form, and as long as there is sufficient OSAP funding to cover it). On www.osap.gov.on.ca click on ‘check status >>funding summary’ to confirm your OSAP amounts. Also check the Finance website for information on what is due and when.
When do I receive my scholarship money? Scholarships are generally paid out in January and will be applied toward the second installment of fees owing. The remainder of the award, if any, is forwarded by cheque to you, the student. An exception to this is the President’s Scholarship, whereby first-year students have full tuition the full value paid toward fees in September. The Chancellor’s Award and Schulich Scholarships will be paid with two installments in September and January. I have a disability and/or Individualized Education Plan. Who do I contact to arrange or continue my academic support? If you have a disability, you are encouraged to visit Student Accessibility Services during NSO or contact them as soon as possible to start planning for your academic accommodations and success. You can begin now by gathering copies of your special education or medical documentation and contact Student Accessibility Services to book an appointment.
