Notice of service changes
Service changes
For the safety of our students and staff, in-person advising has been temporarily suspended. We offer advising services by phone, Zoom meeting, and email. Please see our advising schedules below for details.
Office closures
Program Advising will be closed on Thursday morning, September 24th for a staff meeting.
On Wednesday morning, October 07, full-time program telephone services will be unavailable until 10:30 am.
If your program of choice is full and closed, we encourage you to contact Program Advising for further guidance. We may be able to recommend other programs that still have seats available, or the option of Part-time Studies. We can also discuss how to prepare or strengthen your application for the next intake.
Program advising is for academic advising only. Any queries regarding study or work permits should be directed to the International Student Centre.
