Transitions Orientation
Transitions is an orientation program specifically for international students.
Through a series of workshops and tours, international students learn about UAlberta’s academic environment and get tips on adjusting to life in Canada. Advisors are on-hand to answer all your questions.
Transitions also includes several social activities, so it’s a great way to meet students from other countries, make friends, and have fun!
Transitions is held twice each year:
- late August/early September for students starting in Fall Term
- early January for students starting in Winter Term
Fall 2013 Transitions Orientation
August 28-30, 2013
