To be nominated for the Exchange Program, students must be enrolled in a degree program within The Business School, in Good Academic Standing and submit an Application and Letter of Intent. Only completed applications will be considered for interview by the Selection Committee.

STEP 1:

Identifying Potential Host Institutions and Meet with your Program Coordinator

Using the Study Plan Table found on Page 2 of the Application Kit, select host institution courses you are interested in taking and their Humber course equivalent. This process will help you assess which institution(s) will provide you with the most transferable credits. Once you have completed this step, make an appointment with your Program Coordinator to discuss your Study Plan. Your Program Coordinator will help you determine if your course selections are transferrable to your Humber degree.

NOTE: Bachelor of Commerce—Fashion Management students who are interested in studying abroad in Semester 5 can only enroll in pre-determined courses at Robert Gordon University in Scotland and are not required to meet with his/her Program Coordinator.
