Keep in Mind!

- The Global Peer Program runs from September-April. Therefore we highly encourage new international and exchange students to sign-up before the beginning of Fall or Winter Terms.
- Once you have signed up, you will receive an email from our team in mid-to-late August, indicating the Peer Mentor you are matched to and your Peer Team.
- At the beginning of the Fall or Winter Term, a special event will be scheduled for all the Peers and Peer Mentors to meet each other and learn more about the program.
- Throughout the academic year, Peer Mentors will regularly communicate with their Peer Team, and they will assist new students with their transition by engaging them in York's vibrant campus community.
