University Lecture Series

May I register for an individual University Lecture Series lecture of my choice or do I have to register for the entire lecture series?
Registration for the University Lecture Series is on a subscription basis. The fee includes all ten lectures; we are unable to process registration for single lectures.

I have registered for the University Lecture Series but I am unable to attend one or more of the lectures. May a friend or relative go in my place? Or can I get a discount?
Each registrant gets ten Substitute Tickets at the first lecture in the series. A student who cannot attend a particular lecture can pass along a ticket to a friend or relative for that talk. As well, each registered student receives two Bring-A-Friend vouchers per series (except for the Oakville venue students), which allows you to bring along a friend to one or two lectures of your choice in that series, free of charge. We do not offer discounts for missed lectures.

I will not be able to attend all the lectures in the series in which I have registered. May I attend lectures at another location of the University Lecture Series?
Registration in the University Lecture Series is specific to each location, although you may attend lectures at other locations by invitation through the Bring-a-Friend voucher system.

Where I can find the list of speakers appearing at the University Lecture Series?
The line-up of speakers appearing at the University Lecture Series can be found on our website a few months prior to the start of the series.
