Each year, over 100 mini-courses are offered to students from Eastern Ontario and the Outaouais region. Take a week to explore a subject that interests you, spend a few days on campus, and get a taste of life at university! In 2025, the mini-courses will run from April 28 to May 2 at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University.
