Steps to Follow
This section contains information
on what NACLE institution students need to do in order to participate
in an exchange program with the University of Ottawa.
- Contact your school's
international exchange program coordinator. They will be able to provide
you with an information kit and an application form.
- Consult the 3rd
edition of the 2000-2001 fall-winter timetable before making a course
selection. This edition is available on the University's web site at
the following address: http://www.uottawa.ca/academic/info/index.html.
Please be aware that you cannot make a course selection based on the
Faculty's (Common Law and Civil Law sections) course calendars. While
the calendars contain descriptions for all courses, these are not all
necessarily offered each year.
- Please make sure
that your coordinator has the following information, which is required
before submitting your application:
- the application
form from the Bureau for International Co-operation: Exchange Student
Application -- 2000 - 2001 or 2001-2002 International Exchange Programs;
- an official transcript
(the most recent) - the transcript must be in French or English, or
translated into one of these languages;
- a letter written
by you explaining your interests in participating in the exchange program
(training objectives, courses, extracurricular activities, etc.);
- a letter of recommendation
from a faculty member or other appropriate authority;
- an evaluation of
your knowledge of one of the official languages of the University of
Ottawa, being French or English. Applicants whose mother tongue or language
of instruction is neither English nor French must submit results showing
success in one of the following language tests: if you will be studying
in English, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or if
you will be studying in French, the Test of French as a Second Language
(TOFSL). You must sign up for one of the tests upon your arrival in
Ottawa. Other official certification are also accepted;
- a résumé.

or general fees to the University of Ottawa, but rather to your home
institution.

to the University Health Insurance Plan.
- Find
a place to stay before you get to Ottawa. You can choose to live
either in residence, or find an off-campus accommodation.

up for a language test (TOEFL or TOFSL) if necessary.
