Partner Institutions

Accepting Ryerson Students

Selection: Ryerson University sets an application deadline in early February for exchange in the upcoming academic year. Students are assessed for suitability by their home departments using a variety of methods, the common factor being a minimum grade point average of 2.5 (or B). Once the department has made its selections, your contact person will supply you with a list of the students that will be participating.

Application: If you have an online application form, require specific information from students or have deadlines of which we should be aware, please be sure to inform the relevant exchange coordinator here at Ryerson.

Pre-Arrival: Due to the difference in term start dates from system to system, a large number of our students elect to spend time travelling in advance of beginning their studies overseas. For this reason we request that your institution supply an official 'Offer of Acceptance' (or your equivalent document) as shortly after they complete your application procedures as possible. Any additional informaiton that can be supplied to students in advance of their arrival(regarding accommodation, work, academics, social life, etc.) is always greatly appreciated.

Post-Exchange: Ryerson students require an official transcript from your institution in order to receive academic credit for the work done there. We request that our partner institutions forward these documents directly to the exchange coordinator as soon as possible once the student has completed their course work.

Please contact Gigi Law at h8law@ryerson.ca if you have any questions.
