Scan this list to see what you will need to take care of before leaving UBC or after your UBC exchange experience.
| Outstanding fees | Pay any outstanding fees (iMED insurance, U-Pass, housing, and any other administrative fees) so there is no financial hold placed on your account. We are unable to process your transcript if you have a hold on your account. |
| Transcripts | Go Global will send your transcript to your home university about eight weeks after your exchange ends. If your final grade in a course changes after your transcript has been issued, please reach out to Go Global to get an updated version. If you need your transcript earlier, order it directly from Enrolment Services. (You will need to pay a small fee if you choose to order a transcript directly from Enrolment Services.) If you need your transcripts as part of an application to graduate school or other programs, order a copy through Enrolment Services. If your university does not have an exchange agreement with UBC and you were here as a Visiting International Student, order your transcript directly from Enrolment Services. |
| Credit transfer | Your home university determines how the credits you earned at UBC will count towards your degree progression in your program. For any related questions, contact the international exchange advisor and academic advisor at your home university. |
| Tax returns | Students who have received an award from UBC might need to file a tax return depending on the situation. Find out more: |
| Summer terms | Go Global does not administer exchange during the summer terms. If you are interested in extending your stay at UBC, consider the UBC Vancouver Summer Program or the Visiting International Research Students (VIRS) program. |
| Research | If you are interested in taking on a research project with one of your professors, consider the Visiting International Research program. The VIRS program is ideal for students who want to engage in full-time research studies at UBC under the supervision of a UBC supervisor. |
| Faculty of Graduate Studies | If you want to pursue graduate studies at UBC, please check out opportunities with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. |
