Exchange Program Deadlines

If you want to be with us on exchange during our Fall Term or for the Full Year, then we should receive your nomination sometime between January 15 and February 1 and your application by MARCH 1 of the same year.  

If you want to be with us on exchange during our Winter Term, then we should receive your nomination sometime between April 1 and August 1 and your application by SEPTEMBER 1 of the previous year. 

(All students participating in the National Student Exchange (NSE) program will be nominated at the March placement conference and will be given a different application deadline from that listed above if they are applying for Fall Term or Full Year exchanges.)

Early nominations will sometimes be accepted and early applications will always be accepted.  We will process both on a rolling basis when possible.

We can sometimes accept late nominations and applications; however, this is not recommended since it could negatively impact your ability to: 

  1. meet the April 30 deadline for guaranteed on-campus housing (only for exchange students with September start dates),
  2. satisfy any Government of Canada immigration requirements, and ...
  3. register in the courses you’d like to take before they fill up.
