Welcome message - International Student Services Staff

Welcome to the University of Lethbridge! We are so excited that you’ve chosen to join our diverse and vibrant community. As you begin this new journey, know that you are not alone—our International Office and the entire campus are here to support you academically, socially, and personally. We can’t wait to see all that you will contribute and achieve during your time here.

Our International Student Services team at both of our campuses, Lethbridge and Calgary, is here to support you throughout your journey in Canada. We know studying in a new country is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. That’s why we are your first stop for questions about, immigration and study permit conditions, academic and cultural adjustment, on-campus and community resources, and getting involved and making connections.

You don’t have to figure things out on your own—our advisors and coordinators are here to listen, guide, and connect you with the right resources. I hope you have a great learning experience on our campuses!
