Additional Application Requirements: 

• UMAP, ORA & NSE: An additional application is required to complete the Brock Student Exchange Program application process. Information about this additional application will be sent after the Brock Student Exchange Program application is reviewed.

All students who submit a completed application and meet the application requirements will be interviewed by the exchange committee. 

Contrary to popular belief, an exchange does not have to be much more expensive than staying at Brock. It costs more to participate in the exchange because you will likely participate in activities that you wouldn’t if you stayed at Brock, such as travelling, applying for study permits, etc. However, an exchange is an affordable way to study abroad because you pay your tuition to Brock. OSAP and any scholarships that you normally get still applies during your exchange duration.

If you qualify for OSAP, you can apply for the term/year you spend abroad. The loan programs recognize that you remain a full-time registered student at Brock, which allows you to be eligible for financial support.
