Enrolment at host university聽
Your host university聽will provide you with instructions on how to register and enrol for courses. You will typically find this information outlined in your acceptance letter, on the host university website, or emailed to you before your departure.
Enrol in courses at your host university as soon as possible. Classes can fill up quickly and you may miss out on courses that have been approved by your UQ faculty.
Problems with courses
Your host university will operate differently to UQ. You may experience difficulty in enrolling in pre-approved courses due to timetable clashes, limited places or a change in the language of instruction.
If you experience any issues regarding the host university's courses, you can:
- talk to your lecturer to see if they can make an exception for you as an exchange聽student,聽
- provide a recent UQ transcript, demonstrating that you have taken an equivalent pre-requisite,
- ask the International Office at the host university if they can assist you.
- request a reduced study load. See above.
If you are unable to sign up for a class that was pre-approved in your study plan, you will need to find alternative聽courses at the host university and request approval from your UQ faculty for the new courses. Please send an聽email to聽Global Experiences聽and your UQ Faculty explaining the situation, with a revised study plan and host university course profiles.
If your host university enrolment deadline passes before the new courses have been assessed/approved by your UQ Faculty, please enrol yourself in the host university courses that you believe are the most appropriate/best suited to your UQ degree. Then negotiate with the host university International Office about the process of聽changing your聽enrolment if necessary.
Keep copies of all UQ correspondence regarding course approval, a copy of host university's course profile and your assessment. This will assist聽with transferring credit back to UQ.
