IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Some of our upcoming terms may be affected by recent (and upcoming) measures pertaining to travel to Canada or travel out of different countries. One example would be the partial closure of Canadian borders that was announced recently. Trent International, together with other departments and units at the university, are in the process of planning contingencies and alternatives, including (but not limited to) changes to modes of course delivery and schedules. Updates, when available, will be posted to Trent Forward COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions Page.
