Orientation Week, known as “WEEKZERO” at Lassonde, is our way of welcoming the future Renaissance Lassondians into their new home for the next 4 (or more) years and to ease your transition into university life. It is by far one of the most unforgettable experiences in one’s university career for all the new students to share, make friends, bond with your classmates, and make memories you will cherish throughout your University life. We have planned many fun activities, events and even a few parties all tailored for Lassondians to get you acquainted with each other.

F A Q
What if I do not want to buy my kit online ?
We highly recommend you buy your kit at the earliest as we have a limited number of kits. However, if you any reason you cannot buy online, we will have onsite kit sales starting August 1. Stay tuned for details.
What if my daily commute is hindering me from attending #weekzero17?
As York is known as a commuter school, many people have to travel upwards of an hour by bus or even by car for some. So to accommodate those who have a long daily commute, we offer commuter rooms.
What are commuter rooms?
Commuter rooms are a place for #weekzero17 attendees to sleep over for the night as many of our events end at 1 AM and the next event starts at 10 AM.
Where can I sign up for commuter rooms and what do I need to bring with me for the commuter rooms?
Please inform us when you pick up your kit, that you would like to stay over in the commuter room as we have an additional form for you to sign. If you are sleeping over, you will need to bring the following:
- Sleeping bag + pillow
- Air mattress is highly recommended
- Change of clothes for the next day
- Toiletries
- Towel (shower access will be provided to ones who sleep over)
- Anything else you need to make yourself comfortable to sleep or when you wake up
- We strongly encourage you to not bring valuables, such as laptops, etc
Can I safely store my commuter belongings during the day anywhere?
We will have a locked room available for storage during the day, the room will be open during lunch and dinner times for you to access your belongings.
What happens if I am not able to attend some events?
We strongly urge you to attend each and every single event, however we understand that you may have prior commitments for which you will not be able to attend all the events.
Will I be missing any events during Academic Orientation and when I have classes?
No, we have planned around those days so you will not be missing out.
When is the last day to purchase a #weekzero17 kit?
Kits are available on a first come, first serve basis as we only have a limited number of kits available. The last day to buy a kit is September 4th, 2017.
