NSO events on Saturday cancelled due to Earl

Given the tropical storm warnings in place for Charlottetown, new student orientation (NSO) events at UPEI on Saturday, September 4 have been cancelled. Where possible, NSO events that have been affected will be rescheduled throughout the week or later in the month.

NSO traditionally attracts upwards of 600 participants, many who commute to campus. In light of the impending weather, UPEI administration has made this decision due to concerns about students' travel safety and possible power outages while on campus, as well to avoid adding to the already-present anxiety that naturally comes for parents and first year students about starting university.

Residence move-in is also scheduled to begin on Saturday, September 4 from 9:00 am - 9:00pm. Students may choose, because of the storm, to arrive instead on Sunday,September 5 or Monday, September 6 from 9:00 am - 9:00 pm. If arriving after Monday, September 6, students are requested to go directly to Bernardine Hall for check-in information.
