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.

*you can also find us at Campus Expo, Sept 5, 12-3pm in the courtyard outside TFDL!
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.
During the month of September, students who are accepted to study abroad in the Winter 2025 semester are prioritized for appointments, as they are in a time-sensitive position.
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
As noted above, Winter 2025 students are prioritized for appointments in the month of September. Please email study.abroad@ucalgary.ca to request a meeting with your advisor.
Once advisors have more availability, they will open appointments in Elevate, which can be booked by any student. Log in to Elevate at the link below. On the left, select Advising, Study Abroad, and view your advisor's calendar. Please be sure to select the appointment type "Global Learning Advising", and make note if your appointment is on Zoom or in-person as they are not interchangeable. All advisors will have Elevate appointments available by October at the latest.
