Support while you are overseas
Your safety and wellbeing while overseas is very important.
If you need any assistance with health, counselling and wellbeing while studying overseas, we recommend you contact your overseas host in the first instance as well as International SOS. You will also have access to this support from the University of Newcastle on return from your overseas experience.
If you are concerned about inappropriate, concerning or threatening behaviour while travelling, there are a number of support avenues you can contact:
- Local Authorities
- International SOS
- Campus Care at UON - provides information, advice and support – particularly in complex and sensitive situations
Extending your time on a Semester Exchange Program
If you are currently overseas and you wish to extend your exchange program, you need to meet the basic criteria:
- Your overall total time at the overseas institution will not be greater than two semesters
- You must be able to get an additional 30 units of credit for your second semester
If you fulfil the above, please contact the Global Experience Team
