The University of Ottawa is offering itself up as an alternative for students studying in America who are affected by U.S. travel restrictions. On Wednesday, the university announced a number of measures to attract students at American universities who are from one of the seven Muslim-majority countries under the U.S. travel ban. Implement a tuition fee exemption program to allow students to pursue their studies in the fall semester at the same tuition rates as Canadian students. Work with immigration officials to allow them to pursue studies in Canada without returning to their country of origin. The university is advising students and academics affected by the travel ban to contact its international office to discuss whether to proceed.
