| | Note: Schools with first semesters ending in January will allow U of T students to sit their exams prior to their departure for the winter break. Therefore, schools with first semesters ending in January are options for students who plan to go on exchange in the first semester.
However, some schools have semester dates (including mandatory orientation sessions) that begin prior to September and may overlap with job recruitments that take place in the summer months, as well as summer employment positions. It is up to students to confirm their host school’s semester dates and ensure the beginning of classes do not overlap with other important dates. Class attendance while on exchange is mandatory and students who are found to be missing classes risk their exchange being cancelled. | |
