Preparing for Commerce

At the Department of Management, we want to encourage you to participate in two opportunities created specifically for YOU: Management Orientation @ O-Week, and LAUNCH! We have seen how these programs have benefited our students in the past and cannot recommend them more. Be sure to enrol soon to reserve your spots.

Commerce Departmental Orientation:

Join our first-year faculty members and a panel of student leaders to answer your questions. You will receive tips on how to succeed and how to make a smooth transition into university. You will interact with our student leaders who will share their experiences in and outside of the classroom. There will also be a review of our Professional Skills Development Program. 

utm101H5F LAUNCH: Business, Commerce and Management

Date: Weekly during the Fall term
Time and Room: There are six sections to choose from!
Register: Register for utm101H5F on ACORN.

Did you know that there is a hanging speech bubble at UTM? Do you know how to study effectively? Did you know that you can use up to 6GB of internet bandwidth per day while on campus?

Whenever starting a new journey, there are always tips and tricks to making that journey easier and more fun. Who's better at providing these tips and tricks than someone who has already been through the entire experience?

LAUNCH pairs you with a successful upper-year mentor in your academic discipline to assist you in transitioning successfully to UTM.

Here’s how LAUNCH can help you as a Commerce student:

  • Are you interested in networking with people in your field?
  • Do you want to develop your critical and creative thinking?
  • Would you like to learn how to be academically successful?
  • Do you want to find out about campus resources available to students?
  • Do you want make friends and learn about ways to relax and have fun on campus?

LAUNCH is not-for-credit – there is no homework, assignments or tests! Instead, earn a notation on your Co-Curricular Record (CCR) and 5 Professional Skills Development Program Points in Academic Development for completing, in addition to learning some valuable skills, making friends and having a good time!

Don’t miss out on all the fun! LAUNCH into your UTM experience with us!
