International Students

UPDATE OCTOBER 21, 2020 - Great Plains College Able to Re-Open to International Students

Amended federal government travel restrictions will allow international students to enter Canada starting October 20, 2020. The health and safety of all students, staff and campus community continues to be a priority. As such, Great Plains College, in collaboration with other post-secondary institutions, has developed a comprehensive readiness plan to safely welcome and support international students, which comply with both provincial and federal government guidelines.

As an international student, there will be pre-arrival requirements and a 14-day mandatory quarantine for you and co-arriving immediate family member(s). The quarantine will take place at the University of Regina’s student residence. Here, monitoring and testing by federal and provincial health officials will take place as required and COVID-19 health guideline orientation information and support services for students with questions or health needs, will be provided.

Students will not be authorized to attend Great Plains College campuses until they have sufficiently completed the quarantine period and achieved approval from health officials. For questions or more information, please email international@greatplainscollege.ca or phone +1-306-778-5460.
