Information for When You're on Exchange
Should I enrol myself into UniSA courses while on exchange?
Please do not enrol yourself in any UniSA courses for the period of your
exchange. Your enrolment will be processed internally by UniSA staff.
However, if you are studying any online UniSA courses while on your exchange
you will need to enrol yourself in this course.
What if I decide to stay overseas?
How does this affect my degree here?
If you wish to continue your exchange program, you must email your Student
Exchange Officer to confirm whether this will be allowed. Your extension
needs to be approved by UniSA International, the Partner University and your
Program Director. If it is approved, your extension will be processed by
your Student Exchange Officer. If you do not wish to continue your exchange
program but remain overseas you will need to apply for a Leave of Absence
from your program.
Will I be able to work overseas while on exchange?
You may be permitted to work while on exchange but this will depend on your
visa conditions. It is important to check with the appropriate embassy or
consulate to confirm if there are any restrictions. It is also important to
consider your study load while on exchange to ensure that you have
appropriate time to study if you are considering working. You may also find
it more difficult to find employment and will need to ensure you
budget for your exchange appropriately.
Can I change my courses once I commence studies at the Partner University?
You may need to change your courses once you arrive at the Partner
University due to a range of reasons including timetable clashes. If this is
the case, you will need to email your Program Director to confirm your new
study selection and course load. Once the Program Director has approved the
change you will need to copy or forward the communication to your Student
Exchange Officer so a record of the change can be noted on your file and
your enrolment load will be changed at UniSA (if applicable).
