How do I get unit approvals for Student Exchange?

Your UWA Student Advising Office must pre-approve every unit you take on exchange, whether it is a core, elective or other type of unit.

If the unit information for your exchange period is available (eg in the Host University’s handbook) you can apply for unit approval after you have been allocated to your host university and applied and been accepted by them.

Important Notes:

  • Start your journey by visiting Global Studio, attending an information session or watching the introduction video
  • If you need specific information, you can book an appointment with the Global Learning Office (GLO) team.
  • Pay attention to any restrictions listed in the 'Academic restrictions and Credit Information' tab on the Exchange partner university's brochure and work from the handbook/course catalogue/list of modules provided in the brochure.
  • Unit approvals happen further down the track, once you have been matched with one host institution.
  • Please do not ask your Student Office to check and approve every unit in your study list for every university you have listed in your exchange application.
