As we continue to plan for students to go on exchange during the 2020/21 academic year, we have made some adjustments to our deadlines and pre-departure programming. Please refer to the information below as you make preparations and complete documentation for your exchange.
We also encourage you to review our frequently asked questions for more information on the student exchange program.
We have adjusted the deadlines for the completion and submission of some of the documentation and programming you're required to complete to participate in the student exchange program. However, some deadlines will be decided on a case-by-case basis, depending on the decisions you make about participating in the exchange program in 2020/21.
Because Laurier will be deciding no later than June if exchanges will proceed in fall 2020, we understand if you haven't completed all the required documentation and programming. If you're considering switching your exchange term from fall 2020 to winter 2021, please contact Allison Donahue as soon as possible as there may be limited exchange spots available for winter 2021. Before contacting Allison, review the winter term dates at your preferred host institutions to be sure the dates and courses will work for you.
Once you accept your offer, you will need to complete the following forms:
Information and links to these forms can be found in your original exchange placement offer letter.
You will also have to complete Form 6, but not right away. If you have already completed Form 6, thank you! We will be in touch over the summer if any updates are required. If you haven't yet completed Form 6, here are the revised deadlines:
To help you prepare for exchange, we have moved our pre-departure programming online. Once you accept your exchange placement, it is mandatory that you complete the following pre-departure sessions:
We will post additional pre-departure programming to MyLS throughout the spring. You can also email exchange@wlu.ca with your ideas about pre-departure information that would be helpful to you.
You are required to submit proof of purchase of health insurance to Laurier International. Because decisions on whether the student exchange program will proceed for the 2020/21 year still have to be made, there are revised deadlines to submit proof of purchase:
