Once you have received confirmation of your allocation to a exchange partner university, you may wish to start researching flights. However we do not recommend making any fixed travel plans until you receive your acceptance from the host university and have arranged any applicable visas.
 
We advise that students do not make any non-refundable payment towards flights, program fees, accommodation, visas or any other overseas study-related expenses, unless advised by the host university (such as applying for accommodation by a deadline and securing the accommodation with a deposit), until students have received their acceptance documents from the host university.

As per the University Travel Policy, you must register your itinerary with Concur (UWA's Travel Management System). Full instructions on how to do this will be provided in your Global Studio portal.
