Important Information
During the comment process you are connected to a database. Like internet banking, the session that connects you to the database may time-out due to inactivity. If you do not have JavaScript running you will recieve a message to advise you of the length of time before the time-out. If you have JavaScript enabled, the time-out is lengthy and should not cause difficulty, however you should note the following tips to avoid losing your comments or corrupting your entries:
-
DO NOT jump between web pages/applications while logging comments.
-
DO NOT log comments for more than one document at a time. Complete and submit all comments for one document before commenting on another.
-
DO NOT leave your submission half way through. If you need to take a break, submit your current set of comments. The system will email you a copy of your comments so you can identify where you were up to and add to them later.
-
DO NOT exit from the interface until you have completed all three stages of the submission process.
(1) QUT has long embraced a policy of "internationalisation" in its programs. As part of this policy, QUT students are encouraged to study at an overseas institution for one or two teaching periods as part of their course. Additionally, QUT welcomes inbound exchange students to spend one or two teaching periods in an Australian environment. To facilitate this, QUT has reciprocal exchange agreements with universities around the world. (2) This policy applies to all QUT students (except HDR) undertaking approved international exchange and short-term mobility experiences. (3) Student exchange with any partner must be supported by a formal Student Exchange Agreement. Student Exchange Agreements are covered under the University's International Cooperation Agreements Policy and therefore are bound by all relevant sections of that policy. (4) The underlying premise of the exchange program is that exchange balances between inbound and outbound students should be neutral over the life of the agreement. (5) Guidelines relating to eligibility and selection criteria for outbound exchange and short-term mobility are published on the “Check your eligibility” website (QUT staff and student access only). QUT students are chosen for outbound exchange and nominated to partners according to the number of places available at each partner, and the published requirements. (6) Short-term programs may be managed centrally by the International Relations team or by a Faculty program lead. Beyond standard eligibility and selection criteria, program-specific requirements may be included in the program information on the QUT Global Portal. (7) Students participating in an outbound mobility program must act in accordance with the laws and cultural norms of the host country and comply with the policies, requirements and regulations of both QUT and the host institution. (8) Students must behave in a manner that does not compromise the reputation of QUT. From time to time, students who undertake an outbound mobility program may be expected to participate in activities that promote the University’s mobility program offerings. (9) The Deputy Vice-Chancellor International and Vice-President Business Development may cancel a student’s application and/or participation in a QUT outbound mobility program based on risk to student safety or QUT’s reputation. (10) QUT offers financial assistance to QUT students undertaking specific international experiences relating to their study. The amount of funding and types of experience supported depend on strategic priorities, and the number of students participating. QUT students undertaking a semester of exchange are usually eligible for a bursary, with the amount confirmed prior to the exchange application deadline. (11) Bursaries are open to undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students and are administered by the International Relations team with the exception of faculty-based bursaries, which are granted and administered by the faculties under their guidelines. (12) Outbound mobility students who are recipients of a bursary must adhere to all pre-departure terms and conditions. Students who withdraw or do not complete all program requirements may be required to repay the bursary to QUT. (13) Inbound exchange students are recommended by their home institution. Additionally, they are bound by QUT’s academic and English-language entry requirements, and any other requirements as outlined in the exchange agreement between QUT and their partner institution. (14) Under delegated authority from the Vice-President (Administration) and University Registrar, the International Relations team makes offers of places to the selected students. (15) Refer to Register of Authorities and Delegations (VC015) (QUT staff access only).Student Mobility Program Policy
