Pre-Departure Orientation

The pre-departure orienation is mandatory and there are two parts to it. The general orienation must be completed online, and the country-specific orientation will be in person.

1) General Orientation:
The general orientation will cover the following topics: culture shock, student code of conduct, academic issues, financial issues, and health and safety information.

For students departing in winter 2010, this must be completed online by November 1, 2009.

Please please print the Orientation Resource Manual (pdf) or save it to your computer so you can refer back to it.

2) Country-Specific Orientation:
The country-specific orientation will allow you to meet the other students in your program and speak with returnees. The country-specific orientation will cover all the details of your program and will ensure that all of your questions are answered. Follow the instructions that you received from your EAP Advisor via email. Your EAP Advisor will notify you of the date, time, and location of your country-specific orientation.
