Should the Australian Government increase a destination鈥檚 rating to 鈥榬econsider your need to travel鈥� once you have departed or are already in-country, UQ will review the risk profile, which could potentially result in the suspension or cancellation of the experience if UQ considers that your safety is at risk.

Any increase in a destination鈥檚 rating to 鈥榙o not travel鈥� will automatically result in the cancellation of the experience.

Please refer to the UQ Insurance Services , in particular the Travel Insurance for Students brochure, to understand when you are and are not covered by UQ travel insurance. Students are strongly encouraged to arrange personal travel insurance when UQ coverage does not apply.

Along with all the mandatory requirements of your Student Hub Workflow, you will be required to complete an International Traveller Declaration form in order to receive final travel approval. Refer to the Student Hub Workflow for more details.

UQ鈥檚 Internships and Global Experiences Team strongly recommends you do not make any financial commitments (program fees, flights, accommodation, visas, etc.) for your experience until you have received:

• Exchange: Credit approval from UQ and Host Acceptance
• Short-term Study: Credit approval from UQ (or eligibility confirmation if not-for-credit)
• Internships: Initial application deemed eligible

If you decide to make financial commitments before receiving the above, please ensure that your booking is transferrable or refundable.

Should you proceed, you will be required to complete an International Traveller Declaration form in order to receive final travel approval.

Yes. UQ will organise regular check-ins whilst you are overseas to ensure your well-being and provide help and support services as required. You are expected to monitor your UQ email address while overseas and respond to check-in emails in a timely manner.

No. Cancellations will apply to all UQ students and no exemptions will be granted.鈥�

No. Global experiences are unable to be re-instated once cancelled.

If you choose to participate in a global experience independently of UQ, you will be considered a 鈥榝ree-mover鈥� student. This means that you will not be considered a UQ student for the purposes of any experience you choose to undertake.

As a free-mover student, you are not supported by 51吃瓜网 by any means (including funding, insurance, credit pre-approvals etc.) and are choosing to participate in a global experience without any assistance from UQ. Additionally, as a free-mover, you are not eligible to defer the payment of tuition fees at an international host institution to Australian Government FEE-HELP / HECS, as you will be considered a full fee-paying international student paying fees directly to the host institution.

Credit transfer for free-movers is high risk and is not guaranteed. We encourage students to check with their faculty before deciding to go as a free mover (not upon return) to ensure you understand the risks and whether or not credit will be granted. International students returning to study in their home country should be aware that they may not be eligible to receive any credit for their studies, as credit is granted at the discretion of the Faculty.听Faculty of Business, Economics and Law students should refer to the , as credit will not be granted unless pre-approved by IGET and the BEL Faculty.
