About This Project

A student-led research site for improving how international students find support at the University of Alberta.

What this site is

The International Student Hub is an early preview website co-designed with the Time to Thrive Research Group. It brings public University of Alberta information into one clearer starting point for international students.

This is not an official University of Alberta service desk, and it is not a replacement for official university, government, medical, legal, immigration, or emergency guidance.

Why it exists

International students often have to search across many separate pages to answer urgent, practical, or high-stakes questions. This site explores whether a more student-centred navigation hub can reduce that friction.

How to use it

Start with the category cards, FAQ, Mental Health page, announcements, or search. When a decision depends on official rules, follow the linked source page and verify the current information there.

What comes next

The page structure, labels, content, and navigation can evolve based on student feedback and research findings.
