Passport Woes

One thing I realized quickly was my lack of passport (and passport photos!). Everything asks for my passport number and I don't have one anymore! Mine expired in 2006, I think... We'll I'll have to go apply for one ASAP.

I've started my application online and I've been walking past the passport office and the wait doesn't seem too bad compared to what it was in January. I'll have to go do that in a couple days.

Application - Finally!

Awesomeness! UM finally released their application! Its not too bad. It is an online application with a couple questions about your personal information, where you're coming from - standard application stuff. Thankfully no requests for recommendation letters! The application process seems pretty complicated. First I have to fill out that online application and print that application and attach 3 passport photos for the IP office. Then I can apply for housing. After that I wait for my ID and password to register for classes... Good thing the IP office is coordinating the paper application and photos - one less thing to worry about. Got to get everything in by May 16... Thats not too bad, still have tons of time!

There is a mandatory orientation day on August 28 so I'll have to arrive before that. Block 1 classes start on Sept 1. Thats pretty early compared to UVic... But I'll be done everything by Dec 19 so thats not too bad...

Meeting with the IP Office

Today I met with Cynthia to go over the application process. She gave me a lot of details and a couple hand outs to go over being Maastricht releases the application. Seems pretty complicated.
