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
Looking to learn more about your Global Learning options?
Want to apply, but not sure where to start?
Come talk to an advisor!
Spring/Summer Drop-in Hours:
Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, afternoon only, 1pm - 3pm
(Note: Our office will be closed on Thursday May 11 for a full-day staff meeting)
Location: MacKimmie Tower 5th floor (MT 501)
Please note that drop-in advising is recommended for those
who have more general questions. We cannot guarantee that
you will be able to speak to a specific advisor.
Program-Specific Advising
Each of our global learning programs has a dedicated advisor who is responsible for coordinating applications and knowing all the logistics for that program.
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.
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 a Zoom appointment
Log in to Elevate using the link below. From the left side panel, select Advising > Study Abroad, and follow the instructions to view the available appointments for your advisor. Please be sure to select the appointment type "Global Learning Advising".
Please note that for Spring/Summer, the only appointments available in Elevate are for Zoom meetings. If you want to meet in-person, follow the instructions below to contact your advisor.
Prefer to meet in-person?
For the Spring/Summer term (May through August), all in-person advising appointments are booked over email.
Please email study.abroad@ucalgary.ca to request an in-person appointment. In your email, you should provide your name, UCID number, and either the name of the advisor that you'd like to meet with or the name of the program/country you'd like to discuss. We will respond to you within several business days to set up a time.
You're also welcome to drop in at our office, as long as you are OK speaking to any advisor. Depending on your question, you may be directed to email or return at a later time. We cannot guarantee that every advisor will be available during drop-in hours and, as our advisors specialize in different programs, not every advisor can answer every question.
