Compass Information Centre has everything you need to get you started at Mac this Fall!
Compass is your one-stop location to answer any general questions you may have (ie. where are the bathrooms in the student centre, how do I get to ABB, how in the world do I get to York University from here, etc.).
We are located in the student centre marketplace!
We can provide you with directions, general info about the campus, where to go for certain things, who to talk to if you have a specific question that our staff cannot answer, and how to navigate the various transportation systems to and from campus.

Our friendly staff can give you all of the options and suggest the most affordable/quickest route home or to another University when you're visiting friends or family!
Compass also sells transportation tickets and tickets to local attractions, events, activities, as well as those that are happening on- and off-campus. Compass often sells tickets on behalf of individuals, clubs, university faculties, etc. including those to Welcome Week activities (ie. concert tickets).
