Opportunities to study abroad aren’t limited to the academic year. Study at any of Laurier's exchange partner institutions that offer summer programs, where you can earn credits towards your Laurier degree while still paying your Laurier tuition. These opportunities are a great way to build international skills and experience, particularly if you’re not able to go on exchange for a term or a full year.
Students from all faculties can apply to study abroad during the summer semester. These study abroad options can be from one to eight weeks long and you'll earn the equivalent 0.5 - 1.0 credit. A full term abroad for 2.5 credits isn't available during the summer semester.
Applications for summer semester exchange are submitted to Laurier International through Journey.
With the exception of the MarburgOnline: VirtualExchange - MO:VE the deadline to apply for 2023 Summer Semester has now passed.
For MO:VE the application deadline is March 5, 2023 by 11:55 p.m. ET
To study abroad on a summer semester exchange, you will first need to watch a recorded summer semester information session. (Passcode: #SummerAbroad2023)
You will continue to pay Laurier tuition and incidental fees for the total number of credits you will be earning abroad. The amount of tuition and incidental fees you pay are determined by the number of credits you earn. If you decide to take fewer credits once you are abroad, you will not receive a refund from Laurier.
Financial awards and/or supplements may be offered on a case-by-case basis from the host institution. If you are an OSAP recipient, you will retain your eligibility for OSAP.
The types of credits you earn abroad will depend on your program of study. You must meet with your academic advisor to determine your academic suitability to study abroad and the types of credits you can earn.
The number of credits will depend on the program and opportunity.
You are required to complete Laurier International's mandatory pre-departure sessions which are outlined in your offer letter.
There are additional health and safety forms which you will be required to complete in Journey prior to your departure.
We recommend you do not make any travel arrangements until you have received your official acceptance from the host university. You are responsible for your travel preparations which can include:
Guidance and information about your travel will be part of your mandatory pre-departure sessions. Laurier International is also available to answer your questions and point you in the right direction.
