Congratulations on being accepted!

Transfer students can register for courses along with returning Dalhousie students starting in March. Visit the Register on Track page for course planning resources to get you started!

If you’ve previously studied at a university or college recognized by Dalhousie, you may be able to receive credit for course work already completed. 

Most international students require a study permit to enter Canada as a student.  Depending on your citizenship, you may also require a separate visa or travel authorization to enter Canada. For more information on permit and visa types, and how to apply, visit the New Student Immigration Information page on the International Centre website.

If your program includes a mandatory or optional work term, internship, practicum, or placement, you will also need a co-op work permit (which can be requested as part of your original study permit application).  For more details on how to apply for a co-op work permit, please visit the New Student Immigration Information page.

Students who are enrolled full-time at Dalhousie are automatically enrolled in the Health and Dental Plan at Dalhousie during the Fall term.

Dalhousie offers Health Plans to students from the September 1 to August 31. This timeframe is refered to as the policy year.

If you are paying International Student Fees, you will be enrolled in an additional international Health Plan during the term in which your studies begin.

Students are able to opt out of these plans if they have alternate, comparable, coverage. Opt-outs can only be submitted during the term in which you are enrolled in the Health Plan. Family members can be added to your Student Health Plans during the term in which you begin your studies.
