Students from Partner Universities

For students applying through partner universities to participate in a study abroad program at Unicollege, the process is coordinated between the home institution and Unicollege, with clearly defined stages from initial promotion to final credit transfer. Each step ensures alignment with academic requirements, institutional procedures, and study abroad standards.

1. Program Promotion and Materials

Home universities receive official materials from Unicollege, including the application form, student guidebook, and information sheet, and launch their internal study abroad promotion. This typically takes place:

  • September to October for the Spring semester
  • January to February for the Fall semester
2. Application through Home Institution

Students apply through their home university. Institutions with a limited number of places may conduct an internal selection process based on academic merit or other institutional criteria.

3. Nomination Submission

The home university formally submits the list of nominated students to Unicollege for review.

4. Review and Eligibility Confirmation

Unicollege reviews nominations, verifies eligibility, and confirms student participation.

5. Completion of Application Materials

Selected students complete the Unicollege application process, including:

  • Academic information
  • Housing preferences
  • Meal plans
  • Visa requirements (if applicable)
  • Insurance and required documentation

All materials are submitted directly to Unicollege.

6. Final Approval

Unicollege confirms approval of applications and informs the home university when applicable.

7. Arrival and Orientation

Students are expected to arrive 3 to 5 days prior to the start of the semester for check in and orientation.

8. Academic Calendar
  • Fall Semester: September to December
  • Spring Semester: January or February to April or May
  • Summer Sessions: May, June, July, August
9. Program Duration and Visa Considerations

The standard duration is 90 days for visa free students and 90 days or more for students holding a study visa. Students staying longer than 90 days must follow visa procedures.

10. Make Up and Completion Flexibility

Make up sessions or remaining examinations may be completed online if a student returns early, subject to prior approval by both the home university and Unicollege.

11. Transcripts

Upon successful completion, Unicollege issues and sends the official transcript of records listing all completed courses and grades.

12. Credit Transfer

The home university evaluates and transfers credits in accordance with its own academic policies.
