Orientation

CIC hopes that the learning experience will be a time of growth and success for the student. That this experience for the parent would be a very fruitful and rewarding one sharing in every transformational and monumental growth of your child/children’s educational time spent at Columbia International College. As you prepare to arrive in Hamilton either as a parent or a student, kindly find some information that will be useful.

August 2024 Semester begins with residence check-in August 4 to 6, 2024. Your child/children will have their specific residence check-in date on the official Letter of Acceptance
Students MUST bring with them their passports and study permits to school for orientation that starts on August 6, 2024
Parents are encouraged to come to the academic school building on the day of their children’s Orientation
