Student Life
Campus life
OCAD University is a 100 per cent commuter campus. With lots of students travelling hours a day to get to school and home again, it can be challenging to meet new friends and get involved on campus. We get it. So, we're here to help!
Campus Life, within OCAD U's Student Success Programs, ensures that students have access to social, learning and development opportunities outside the classroom. Our programs encourage enhanced personal growth, connection, engagement, leadership, self-confidence, interpersonal and team-building skills.
Sports facilities
There are many bike racks around campus: a series on both sides of the main entrance at 100 McCaul St., as well as city posts on both sides of the street.
Campus Life has partnered with the Intramural Program at Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences (222 St. Patrick St.). This exciting new collaboration brings intramural opportunities to OCAD U students and allows access to Michener's gymnasium where they will play against each other and Michener teams for some friendly competition!
OCAD U students who wish to be physically active, work out, or keep fit can take advantage of affordable student memberships at a variety of recreation and fitness facilities within two kilometres of campus.
Student clubs
The OCAD Student Union (OCADSU) is a not-for profit corporation that exists to advocate on behalf of the OCAD U student body at-large serving as a liaison between the student body and OCAD U governance, administration, faculty, other universities and colleges, all levels of government, and the Canadian Federation of Students. Within the Toronto art and design community, OCADSU is proud to be represented by its subsidiary, Xpace Cultural Center.
