The host institution semester dates overlap with Laurier semesters. Can I still go on that exchange?
It depends on your academic situation and if the host university is able to make special arrangements for exchange students. If you’re looking at a host institution that has an overlap of about a month or so (i.e. the fall term finishes in January), often the host can make special arrangements to allow you to return to Laurier to start the term here. For example, you can write your host exam before returning to Laurier, or write a final project instead of a final exam, or write the exam at Laurier proctored by Laurier International. You would need to double-check with the host institution to see if they will make special arrangements. You could also study abroad for two terms instead of just one.
