Becoming a Student Exchange Partner Institution

Interested in Becoming a Student Exchange Partner Institution?

If you are interested in negotiating a exchange agreement with the University of Guelph, first visit the University of Guelph's information on academic [1] programs [1] to ensure your academic programs align with ours. If it seems a good fit, contact the Centre for International Programs [2] to find out about next steps.

Here are some of the things we look for in new student exchange partners:

Internationally recognized and accredited institutions at the University level with academic programs which align well with University of Guelph Programs
Courses at the senior undergraduate (3rd and 4th year) or graduate level which are taught in English
Partners who are not located in a region covered by a Global Affairs Canadian [3] travel warning
Partner institutions with a reciprocal interest in exchange such that it may be reasonable to assume that equal numbers of students will be exchanged in each direction
Partners must be able to offer an official transcript of the students' academic performance in perpetuity (i.e. students should be able to obtain a transcript of their exchange courses several years after their time at the host University is completed)
