Orientation for International Students
This is a self-guided orientation course specifically for new international students. It has vital information for a smooth transition to ULethbridge and can be done at your own pace. You must complete this course and we recommend doing it prior to the start of classes.
The International Student Mentorship Program is a volunteer peer-mentor program in which new international students are matched with continuing uLethbridge students who can provide ongoing advice and information about life at the university and in Lethbridge. This Fall 2021 term, mentors will meet with you in person or virtually and help you with any questions you may have by email. Mentors provide ongoing social support, assistance and guidance throughout your first semester as new international student. They share their personal experiences, easing your transition to university in Canada!
If you have already requested a mentor, you will be invited to an ISMP Meet and Greet, where you will meet your mentor and other new international students! The time and date of the ISMP Meet and Greet will be shared with you in an email.
