New Professors' Guide
Our comprehensive Guide for new professors is designed to welcome new professors and help navigate the exciting but often challenging world of academia.
About this guide
This guide will introduce you to the University of Ottawa and explain the many resources that are specially designed to support you in your career and in your new role. The academic regulations and collective agreements (e.g., the Association of Professors of the University of Ottawa (APUO) collective agreement and the Association of Part-Time Professors of the University of Ottawa (APTUO) collective agreement) referenced in this guide are always useful documents to consult for compliance purposes. Other parts of this guide offer recommendations and suggestions that are worded along the lines of “You can…” and “Consider….”
Questions? Contact your program director, your faculty’s research unit or your department head.
We hope that you’ll find this resource helpful. All suggestions are welcome, which you can share using this form.
