New International Students:

The International Student Services Office (ISSO) offers services and programs that contribute to positive international experiences for all Carleton students. They are dedicated to helping international and exchange students adjust to life in Canada and to helping them get the most out of their student experience. The ISSO offers immigration advising, facilitates the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) and offers a variety of transition supports. It is highly recommended that new international graduate students also take part in the ISSO’s I-Start Orientation Online before you arrive and International Welcome Day in person after you arrive.

Please visit the ISSO’s Transition and Engagement Support page for details.
