Inbound - Overloading as Student Exchange and Study Abroad (SESA) students

Can I overload (study more than 24 UWA points) while on exchange or study abroad at UWA?

Overloading is not usually permitted while you are on student exchange or study abroad at UWA. The Global Learning Office and your Student Advising Office both want you to have the time to also enjoy the social and cultural experience in Perth and Australia. If you wish to overload due to extenuating circumstances, you may be able to do so with the support of your home university and the UWA Global Learning Office. 

Note: Exchange and Study Abroad students will be charged tuition fees on a pro rata basis if they overload beyond 24 UWA credit points per semester.
