Welcome to the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design. We can't wait to welcome you to campus this September! As a new student, we know that there is a lot of new information to learn, so we have put together a handbook and a series of virtual presentations to help you transition to university life.

These presentations will help prepare you to understand degree and program requirements, learn about steps in course enrolment, learn about fees and finances, and find out about the resources and opportunities for your new academic journey.
