New this year is a Meet the Deans drop-in session offering to allow future students and guests to ask questions, hear directly from the leaders shaping Trent’s academic experience and learn about studying at Trent. Dr. Mark Skinner, dean of Humanities & Social Sciences; Dr. Sarah West, dean of Sciences; Dr. Fergal O’Hagan, dean of Education and Dr. Hugo Lehmann, dean of Nursing will be in attendance.

Students considering transferring to Trent can also participate in a new dedicated session for transfer students, designed to help those considering a new postsecondary path explore their options and learn how Trent can help with transfer credits. A dedicated session for Grade 10 and 11 students will introduce younger visitors to Trent’s programs, student life, and the path to university.

“Open House is about more than just seeing the spaces where you’ll study—it’s about meeting the people who will be part of your university experience,” said Marilyn Burns, vice president of Communications & Enrolment at Trent University. “The chance to have real conversations with deans, faculty, students, and staff is what makes Trent’s Open House such a valuable experience for our guests, providing the best insight into what makes Trent unique—our academic options and career pathways, student supports, and generous scholarships. There’s no better way to see if Trent is the right fit.”

Trent’s Spring Open House features student-led campus tours, offering a look inside lecture halls, Bata Library, the Student Centre, and residence spaces.

Professors also lead information sessions on programs, research opportunities and career pathways, while enrolment advisors are on hand to discuss paid co-op and flexible degree options—including Trent’s Exploration Year, which allows students to customize their first year before choosing a major.

Students can also explore Trent’s entrance scholarships, including full tuition for those with a 95 perc ent average or higher, apply for guaranteed residence and accept an offer or apply on the spot.
