JMSB students who wish to study at an institution that does not have an CSEP partnership with our school or who are not eligible for the CSEP, can apply to be a Visiting International Fee-Paying Outgoing Student at a particularinstitution. However, since this program is not a standardized Study Abroad Program, while away, student will not be recognized as full-time Concordia University student and therefore may not be eligible for government funding/loans while studying abroad. 

Students wishing to study abroad at non-partner institutions must complete the Student Request Form, a typed letter of intent for why you wish to study abroad, full-course listing and course descriptions for intended study and meet with Amanda Holt.  Students with cumulative GPAs 2.70 and above will be considered.

To book an appointment with Amanda Holt, please call 514-848-2424, ext. 2721.
