  • Are you a Canadian citizen or permanent resident?
  • Is English your first language?
  • How many years have you studied architecture?
  • When do you wish to study here: fall (September-December), winter (January-April), or summer (May-July); and in which calendar year (2025, 2026, etc.)?
  • Which course(s) do you wish to take? (See the > Term; Halifax > Architecture)
  • Is it an undergraduate course (3000- or 4000-level) or a graduate course (5000- or 6000-level)?
