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
