Seneca is not affected by the provincial government’s planned closure of public schools from March 14 – April 5, as it applies to schools from kindergarten to Grade 12 only. We will be running regular classes at this time.
We will provide updates once they become available.
There is a social media post circulating that mistakenly is being attributed to a Seneca employee. The originator of the post is not and has never been employed by Seneca. We do not condone this type of behaviour and it is not part of our values.
We mourn the tragic loss of alum Hodan Nalayeh who was killed in a terrorist attack in Somalia on July 12, 2019. Through the "Hodan Nalayeh Excellence in Journalism Award", we will forever remember her intrepid spirit & passion. Make a gift in her memory:
To every university, college, polytechnic, and CEGEP in the country: We need your expertise and your resources. If you have masks and ventilators we can use, or if you think you can help with things like 3D printing of medical supplies, let us know:
Today, we mourn the loss of a member of the Seneca family, Candy Palmater. We were fortunate to have Candy host our Seneca Talks series, conversing with Indigenous and EDI thought leaders from across the country on a path of learning and living for all of us to follow.
The Seneca community is saddened to hear of the tragic death of Kartik Vasudev, a first-semester Marketing Management student.
Our thoughts are with Mr. Vasudev's family, friends and classmates. Counselling support is being made available to students and employees.

To our students, here's another reminder that your professors may very well be as stressed as you are before the first day of class 🙂
On April 23, 2018, 10 people were killed & many others were injured in one of the deadliest mass attacks in Toronto's history. Among those tragically lost was Ji Hun Kim, a Seneca student from South Korea.
