You’re just a few steps away from joining us! Below you will find important information on the application and admission process for exchange students. ABOUT THE EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Eligibility
Algoma University welcomes exchange students from international partner universities with whom there is a bilateral exchange agreement. Exchange studies do not lead to an Algoma U degree but will be counted towards the exchange student’s degree in their home university. Exchange studies may consist of courses, a final thesis, and/or project work.
All nominations for student exchanges must come from the international office of the applicant’s home institution. Students wishing to participate in an exchange with Algoma U must contact their own International Office first.
Length of the Exchange
The length of a study exchange may be one or two semesters, depending on the terms of the bilateral agreement between Algoma U and the partner university concerned:
- Fall semester (September – December)
- Winter semester (January – April)
HOW TO APPLY
Once students are nominated by their home institutions, international exchange students can submit their application online to Algoma U. Application fees are waived for exchange students.
Complete the Algoma U application.
Upload official transcripts via the online portal.
Send proof of English language requirements (if applicable); Not required for those students who are accepted to our ESL program as part of the exchange program.
Apply for accommodation (Residence or Homestay). Please note that homestay option is NOT available for exchange students who are studying academic courses.
PROOF OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY
Proof of English language proficiency is required for international students to attend Algoma University. Please review the requirements here.
COURSES FOR EXCHANGE STUDENTS
Fall and Winter courses are available for you and your advisor’s review at your home institution. Exchange students’ course registration will be confirmed after they arrive at Algoma U. The detailed timetables (with course days, times, names of teachers, classrooms, etc.) and all instructions will be given during the Exchange Student Orientation Week.
