Returning Home
Welcome Home! We hope you had an amazing experience!
Now that you have returned from overseas, there may be a few things you need to sort out such as your credit, completing your compulsory Testimonial, marking your overseas experience in your iLEAD Portfolio or joining the Student Exchange Peer Advisor Program.
Completing the Credit Process
After you have returned home, your overseas transcript may be sent to your home address or to the University of Newcastle’s International Office.
Please check with your overseas university, when and how you will receive the transcript. If your overseas record is sent to the International Office, we will scan the record and contact you about pick up.
Note: Transcripts from overseas universities may not be sent if you have outstanding debts at the overseas location. If you do not receive your transcript in the advised time period, please contact the overseas institution directly.
To receive Credit, you must take a copy of the overseas record to your Program Officer located at one of the student HUBs. After your record is compared with your Credit Agreement, the Program Officer will post your credit. Overseas grades do not transfer onto your Newcastle student record. Credit will be recorded on your transcript as an ungraded pass providing you are successful in your overseas studies.
