Post-Exchange

We hope you had a fabulous time during your exchange and we look forward to hearing about your experience. Now that you are back there are a few things to do if you have not already done so...

Apply for Exchange Credit

Please visit the Exchange Credit page for instructions on submitting your exchange credit applications.

Complete your Exchange Report - ON HOLD

Due to retirement of SFU's Our Learning Community (OLC), exchange report submissions are currently on hold. ISS is exploring other ways to accept and share exchange reports. Once a new way of submission is identified, this page will be updated and you will be notified. In the meantime, exchange reports are not required and not submitting a report will have no impact on your exchange participation.

If you received a funding through Global Skills Opportunity program and a report is required, please follow the instructions from your Program Lead.

Post-Exchange Promotional Expectations

As per your Outbound Exchange Student Acknowledgement, you are required to participate in a minimum of two activities for exchange/study abroad promotions.

How can I fulfill my post-exchange promotional expectations

  • Humans of SFU Study Abroad: Share your experience and photos with the SFU community through the Humans of SFU Study Abroad series! The series is posted to our social media accounts. To participate, send 3 photos or a video (30 seconds or less) and a short paragraph about your Exchange experience (roughly 100 words) to intlcmns@sfu.ca. For example, you can talk about your transition to your new university/home, academic/cultural similarities and differences, new food/dining experiences, cost of living, etc. There are endless themes to explore.

  • There are various opportunities to assist International Services for Students with events and activities following your exchange (including Orientation for new exchange students to SFU, Pre-Departure Orientation for SFU exchange students etc.). We will notify past participants as these opportunities become available but should you be interested in a specific event, please contact studyabroad@sfu.ca.

  • Faculty/department activities or other campus opportunities. If you see other ways to fulfill your post-exchange promotional expectations not on this list, please check in with us at studyabroad@sfu.ca to confirm if we can consider it an activity that will fulfill one of your requirements.
