Exchange students with the Schulich School of Business will resume classes Monday, as the strike at York University nears its third week.
The international students are required to return to their home countries at the end of December, and the university says they would have no chance to make up for lost classes in 2009.
Others are heading out on exchange programs at the beginning of January and need to finish their first term course by the end of this year.
Teaching assistants, contract faculty and researchers walked off the job on Nov. 6, canceling classes for up to 50,000 students.
The union representing the striking workers and university administration has met once to try to resolve their issues but talks broke off after two hours.
