There are two main offices here at Concordia University who will help you along the way:

The International Student Affairs Office for Undergraduate Programs (GM 201-7) at the John Molson School of Business is here to guide you through the application process. We run ISEP Information Sessions, ISEP Application Sessions, ISEP Pre-Departure Sessions, we assess your courses abroad for course equivalencies and awarding of credits, and we are here to welcome you home and help you with transferring your credits back to Concordia.

You will be submitting your completed application to our office. A decision on your file in made after carefully reviewing your application, and after you have undergone an interview with our office. We at the JMSB will ultimately decide if you will be allowed to participate in the ISEP. Once we approve your participation, we send your original application to the CIAC, who in turn forward your application onto your chosen host institution.

What is the CIAC?

The second office that will help to guide you through the ISEP is the Centre for International Academic Cooperation- CIAC (WC-101). The CIAC staff specializes in international exchange programs and is the academic link between Concordia University at large and all host institutions abroad. Once your file has been approved by the JMSB for participation in the ISEP the CIAC is responsible for sending your original application to the host institution, receiving and distributing the host institution’s decision letter and acceptance package where applicable, receiving official transcripts from the host institution and ensuring that the Office of the Enrollment Services credits your transcripts accordingly.

The CIAC also houses a large library of host institution information, course calendars, campus guides, etc.. If you are not sure of where you would like to study, the CIAC can help you! Contact Ms.Geraldine Ford to find out what the CIAC can do for you: Tel: (514) 848-2424 ext.4987 or by e-mail: gerford@vax2.concordia.ca;
