On Friday September 4, the University devotes a full day to welcome international and exchange students through the International Student Orientation event. In addition, we have Orientation Week planned from September 5-13, which is not only a time to make new friends, but discover what UPEI has to offer, see our beautiful campus, develop connections with staff and faculty to help plan your future. From “Shine Day” to social events, we promise you will have a great time and even learn a few things! UPEI offers an International "Buddy" Program which provides assistance for a smooth transition by matching new students with returning local or international students. “Buddies” help students adapt to a new country, culture, and environment.

To help ease the changes of both University life and moving to a new country, we offer a free airport pick-up program for international and exchange students, where a friendly face will welcome you to PEI.
