Orientation Session

NorQuest College offers an orientation session for all new International Students. Orientation is scheduled prior to your program start date. It is a great way to become familiar with NorQuest College, meet other international students, and learn about the city of Edmonton. We will cover information such as how to use the public transit system, how to find accommodations, and activities and excursions.

Travel around Edmonton

Edmonton has a very good transit system, called the Edmonton Transit System, or ETS. A bus pass for transit around Edmonton and area costs $74.50/month for students. You can also choose to pay $2.75 per bus ride instead of purchasing monthly passes. (Prices are subject to change).

The NorQuest College campuses are conveniently located on a main bus route. For more information, please visit the City of Edmonton Transit Service website.
