!!IMPORTANT REMINDER: PLEASE READ BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REGISTER!!

If you’ve just completed the mandatory information session and are waiting for access to Waterloo Passport, please note that access is not immediate. As clearly communicated, it can take up to 48 hours for access to be granted.

During this final week of applications, we’ve been working diligently to shorten that turnaround time, often providing access within a few hours. We kindly ask for your patience as we do our best to support everyone.

Applications will open October 1, 2025, and close October 31, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Spots will be available for:

• Summer 2026
• Fall 2026
• Winter 2027 and,
• Spring 2027.

Note: For the 2026/2027 application year, there will be only one round of applications for our exchange program. If you're hoping to take part, please make sure to apply during this window—it's your only chance to do so.

To be considered for an exchange match, you need to review the mandatory information session and complete the quiz. 

 The Go Abroad Information Session will open September 1, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. ET. and close on October 31, 2025, at 8:59 p.m. ET.
