There are several things you need to do to finalise your exchange.
Welcome back student exchange tutorial
It is important you complete the tutorial as it covers useful information on transfer of credit, re-enrolment, reverse culture shock, careers and employment.
To access the Welcome Back Student Exchange Tutorial:
-
Log in to Moodle using your student ID
-
Enter the enrolment key: GlobalEd for the Welcome Back Tutorial
Transfer of credit
To complete the final steps for your transfer of credit you need:
- Academic transcript from the partner university
- Signed Transfer of Credit form
- Completed Returned Student Questionnaire
Don’t forget to check that your UNSW transcript is updated and that your course exemptions are correct so that you can graduate on time.
Re-enrolment
Generally you need to complete your online enrolment during the normal re-enrolment period. If a course you wish to enrol in has pre-requisites that you completed overseas but your credit has not yet been transferred, take your transcript from the partner university to your faculty and discuss the situation with them.

Reverse culture shock
After you return home, you may feel restless and bored, or that your friends are not interested in hearing about your experience overseas.
Just as you had to adjust to a new culture overseas, you now have to readjust to life back home. The best way to readjust is to understand that reverse culture shock is normal, and that in time you will cultivate a deep appreciation of both your exchange culture and your home environment. But above all, stay involved with the exchange program.
If you need further information or support to readjust to life in Australia, contact UNSW Psychology and Wellness.
