If you are a current UNB student, you will be automatically registered for your Travel Study courses. If you withdraw from your Travel Study program, you will automatically be dropped from these courses. If applicable, UNB Financial Services will be notified and an appropriate refund will be issued to you based on the Travel Study Refund Policy.

Are you a current UNB student? 

• If you are planning to make your travel study count toward your degree, make sure you discuss your plans with your Academic Advisor.

Are you a student from another university?

• We require that you submit a letter of permission from your affiliated institution to apply to UNB as a visiting student.

Are you a UNB retiree, Alumni or a Travel Enthusiast?

• You can opt for non-credit or audit courses.  Apply to UNB as a mature student – “No Degree”.

Pre Travel Information

Prior to departure, you will receive additional information from your Travel Study program. Please pay attention to all details relating to your program, and contact us if you have any questions at travelstudy@unb.ca

Medical & Travel Insurance

Proof of international medical insurance is required for the dates of your selected travel study program.

Travel Insurance is highly recommended as delays or unexpected events abroad may increase or change your travel plans.

Passports & Travel Visas

Participants are required to have a valid passport. A copy of your passport is required 45 days prior to the commencement of your program. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date you expect to return to Canada. To avoid delays, you are encouraged to apply for your passport now if you do not already have one. 

If you are not a Canadian citizen, you are responsible to check with the consulate of the country you plan to visit and inquire about travel visa requirements.

For more information regarding passports please visit Passport Canada.

Getting There

It is your responsibility to make travel arrangements to and from your Travel Study destination. Flight(s) and some local travel arrangements (and associated costs) are not included with your program fees (please refer to your intended travel study program for a complete listing of associated costs).

Please do not make travel arrangements until you have received notification to do so.

Each program will post the expected arrival date, location & time, and departure date(s). If you plan to arrive early, or stay longer than your Travel Study, you will be responsible for arranging your own transportation and accommodations during this time.

Accommodations

Tourist class hotels and student residences are most often booked for our Travel Study programs. These properties generally have private washrooms (unless otherwise specified) and comfortable sleeping arrangements.

Accommodations are booked for the specific dates of your Travel Study program. If you wish to arrive early, or stay later than your program, you are responsible for booking and paying for your pre-travel/post-travel accommodations separately.

Participants are usually booked in double or triple rooms. However, some Travel Study programs offers single room accommodation for an additional fee (please contact CEL for additional details). If you would like to book a single room, please indicate your preference at the time of your application in order to adjust your program fee.

If you wish to room with someone in particular, who is also registered in your Travel Study program, you must do so in writing 45 days prior to departure. Although we try to accommodate all rooming requests, UNB reserves the right to accommodate the group based on registration numbers and accommodation availability.

UNB Travel Study Program reserves the right to change accommodation locations. Should it become necessary to change locations, we will arrange for a comparable accommodation.

Guests (including spouses, children, other family members, friends, etc) are not permitted to stay in Travel Study housing or attend Travel Study related activities.
