Important Travel Advice
Students planning international travel should regularly monitor DFAT聽聽and the聽听飞别产蝉颈迟别.
UQ strongly recommends that students do not travel to, or transit through, locations rated 鈥淒o not travel鈥� or 鈥淩econsider your need to travel鈥�,聽due to security risks,聽disruption聽and insurance limitations.聽
Where a destination聽remains聽approved, but a student chooses to transit via such locations against advice, UQ support and insurance apply only to the approved experience and destination, not to the student鈥檚 travel routing.聽
Students聽are responsible for聽reviewing flight routes and keeping their travel details up to date.聽
6. Flights and accommodation
We do not recommend that you purchase plane tickets until you receive credit approval from Faculty, an official acceptance letter from the host and the appropriate visa for your short-term experience.
Once accepted into the short-term experience program, your host should provide you with information on accommodation choices and application instructions.聽It is your responsibility to secure accommodation for the duration of your experience.
You are strongly advised to apply for聽accommodation managed by your host program, if available, and to apply as soon as possible in order to secure a place. If you have any further queries regarding accommodation options for your short-term experience it is best to contact the host university directly.
