Pre-Departure Orientation

All students going abroad on an education abroad program must complete a mandatory Pre-Departure Orientation before leaving Canada, available online through eClass and in-person.

During the in-person Pre-Departure Orientation, you will have the opportunity to talk with students who have gone abroad in the past - a great time to ask questions about their experiences and get some tips!
