After your exchange

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 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 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

Credits It is up to your home university to determine how the credits you earned at UBC will count towards your degree progression in your program.

Summer Terms Go Global does not support 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
