Welcome to Western University!
We are excited to have you join us for Orientation Week (also known as “OWeek”), taking place from Monday, September 7th to Sunday, September 13th, 2020.
Western sets the OWeek standard across Canada and, this year, we fully plan to raise that bar even higher. Get ready for exclusive virtual experiences, campus-wide events (online and in-person), and everything you need to make your year a success.
Check out our block schedule for a sneak peek at what's in store!
It's a 7-day welcome to a new school, new friends, and a new life. Near or far, virtual or in-person, our OWeek will be accessible to all students via the OPass! Don’t miss out on once-in-a-lifetime memories made possible by Canada’s best Orientation.
If you have questions, please reach out to Orientation Staff at orientation@uwo.ca. See you soon, Mustangs.

HEADLINER ANNOUNCEMENT: Tune in remotely or join an Orientation Week Viewing Party on Campus to see the Arkells perform for Western's OWeek at 10PM on Monday September 7, 2020. Download the OWeek App Western Orientation 2020 for more information!

Members of Arkells welcome students to the start of the 2020 semester.
Having formed in post-secondary, 6X JUNO Award winners Arkells will share stories about how they were able to pursue their creative passions while studying at school, balancing course work and building the foundations for their small business and full-time career as one of the most successful bands in the country.
Join the band for a mix of interactive story telling and song requests. The Arkells are also taking YOUR questions during their Study Break. Song inspo, politics, relationships... they’ll answer it all! Post your questions to the Facebook Event.
