Exchange programs offer students an opportunity to take courses at an agricultural college in Canada or overseas for varying periods of time and receive credit toward their diploma at the University of Guelph. In return, students from the host college may study at one of the University of Guelph Associate Diploma program locations.
International study opportunities can be arranged at selected faculties on an individual basis. Additionally, students may study on a letter of permission basis. Students interested in national and international study opportunities should consult with their Program Counsellor.
For regulations on exchange programs and letter of permission refer to Section VIII--Associate Diploma Regulations and Procedures.
The following exchange program is currently available to Associate Diploma students.
Belgium Exchange
An agreement with the Haute Ecole Provinciale du Hainaut Occidental allows students to complete their second year of the Agriculture & Horticulture program in Belgium.
Candidates must successfully complete their first year at Collège d' Alfred. The second year in Belgium provides a specialization in tropical agriculture. Canadian students are integrated in the second and third year course with Belgian students. Courses are offered exclusively in French, therefore candidates must be fluent in French.
Interested students should contact the Agriculture & International Development program coordinator at Collège d'Alfred.
