What is FAS Touchstone?
FAS Touchstone is a virtual general advising session offered in collaboration with your departments:
- For newly admitted fall term students: sessions will begin at the beginning of April 2024 and run until early September.
- For newly admitted winter term students: the sessions run from early June until early January.
As noted in the Welcome Guide for Undergraduate Students, new students must have an advising session. This session is to:
- Introduce you to the Faculty of Arts and Science and your department!
- Teach you about your degree/program requirements.
- Highlight courses, course sequencing, and more, that make up your degree and program requirements.
- Review some of the information that you need to know/understand as you move forward in your studies with us!
What to do next?
- Accept your offer of admission and pay the confirmation fee. The sooner you do this, the sooner you can register after attending a Touchstone session.

- Register for a session! Some departments will have their advising session separate from the Touchstone session.
- Make sure to confirm your Zoom invite and save it to your online calendar or write it in your agenda.
