Before Landing In Canada
All MBA students must attend the MBA Online Orientation before they start their study. If you haven't attended the orientation yet, please reach out to MBA team through the MBA helpdesk system.
Once you receive your student visa, you will receive your MBA study plan from the MBA Coordinators after the orientation. Your next step would be to register for courses in the semester you are starting in. Instructions on how to register for courses can be found here. Please be advised of Add/Drop policy to avoid penalty.
