The International Student Advisors (ISAs) provide one-on-one confidential advising to full degree undergraduate and graduate international students, new immigrants and refugees. Common topics of conversation include housing, academic concerns, immigration (study permit, visa, post-graduate work permit, etc.), financial difficulties and culture shock.

Our ISAs can also help you get involved on campus, connect with other students and talk through any personal concerns. 

Appointments can be booked with an ISA and we also have drop-in hours each semester for those who want to come by without an appointment. 

Peer Helpers are a dynamic team of U of G students committed to providing important programs and services to the university community. Over 250 undergraduate and graduate students from a broad range of academic programs are involved as Peer Helpers across the campus each semester.

This orientation program for First Nations, Inuit and Métis students helps you and your family members learn more about life at U of G and the academic, financial, social and cultural supports available. Meet the Indigenous Student Advisor and the many other Guelph community members who will be at your side throughout your journey.

Student Accessibility Services helps with equitable access to the academic environment. We support all types of disabilities - permanent and temporary, evident and non-evident, episodic or relatively unchanging. Whether your disability is new or has been with you your whole life, please contact us as soon as you’ve been admitted.

This orientation program for international students, exchange students and out-of-country Canadians helps you make connections and settle into your new home before Orientation Week begins. It features information sessions about academic life, resources to help you succeed, space to meet and connect with upper year students and staff and campus tours and social gatherings.

This 2-and-a-half-day orientation introduces participants to Student Accessibility Services and other campus resources, preparing you for life as a U of G student while experiencing a disability. 

The Indigenous Student Centre provides a culturally supportive environment that fosters academic excellence and supports the intellectual, spiritual, emotional and physical development of all self-identified First Nations, Inuit and Métis students. We provide student advising and wellness support, cultural and educational programming as well as academic and financial information.

The Off-Campus Living (OCL) team provides a number of services for students, staff, faculty, landlords and community members. We offer resources including information on rental and tenant advising, trip planning and transit information and resources for landlords and neighbourhood residents. You will also find information about programs and opportunities for students living off-campus to build community at U of G.

Student Experience supports the transition to campus and orientation needs of all students, including students identifying as First Nations, Inuit, Métis, Black, racialized, members of the LGBTQ2IA+ community, and students from cultural, international, religious and spiritual communities.

We provide programs where you can build community, explore lived experiences and support your personal development.
