Global Learning Advising
Whether you're curious to talk about Global Learning in general, or have a list of questions about a particular program, we're here to help.
General Drop-in Advising
Learn about your Global Learning options, find out how to apply, and hear advice from past students!
Hours: Mondays to Thursdays, 11am - 3pm
*Note: There will be no Drop-in Advising from December 20 to January 10. Drop-In will resume on the start of classes, Monday January 13.
Location: MacKimmie Tower 5th floor (MT 501)
Program-Specific Advising
Each global learning program has an advisor who is responsible for coordinating applications and travel logistics. If you have questions about a specific program, please book a meeting with the responsible advisor as they will best be able to help you!
Note: If you drop in at our office, you may be asked to send an email or return later as we cannot guarantee your advisor will be available. Our drop-in advisors rotate and may not be able to answer specific program questions.
Identify your advisor
If you have already applied or been accepted to a global learning program, this step will be easy!
Otherwise, use the Program Finder to locate the program that you're interested in and check who the responsible advisor is. This is typically listed near the bottom of the program page.
Book an appointment (Spring/Summer)
If you are already accepted to a Spring/Summer 2025 program abroad:
Log in to Elevate using the link below. On the left menu, select Advising, then Study Abroad. Follow the instructions to view your advisor's calendar. Make note if your appointment is on Zoom or in-person, as they are not interchangeable!
Important: Please write in the notes/comments section an explanation about your questions. This helps your advisor prepare and be ready to meet you.
Book an appointment (Fall/Winter)
If you are applying to a Fall 2025/Winter 2026 program abroad:
During the month of January, appointments will not be available. This is because our advisors are focused on processing applications after the January 5 deadline as quickly as possible.
We are holding Zoom Drop-in Advising on Thursday January 2 from 12-2pm and 4-5pm: https://ucalgary.zoom.us/j/93859594147 (Note: this is meant for general application advising, troubleshooting, etc.)
You are also welcome to email study.abroad@ucalgary.ca if you have questions, or to request an appointment if something more urgent has come up. Our advisors will try to respond promptly and help you.
