We hope your summer study abroad experience has been inspiring and enjoyable.

 

Upon return to Hong Kong, please drop us a quick email or give us a call to let us know your safe arrival home. Apart from that, here are the things that you need to pay attention to:

A. Reflection Report

 

Please submit the following items to the International Office (in person or by email to exchange@hkbu.edu.hk) within one month of your successful completion of the programme:

 

1. An official transcript (original or certified true copy) and/or a certificate of completion issued by host institution
2. An online reflection report on your experience
3. 2 photos regarding your learning experience (with captions)

 

B. Transfer of Units

 

Upon return from the summer abroad programme, you may apply for transfer of units. Applications for transfer of units will be subject to the approval of respective departments and the Academic Registry. The University may not entertain any unit transfer for subjects with grades below the equivalence of grade C in the University grading system. Units transferred from other institutions are recorded without inclusion in GPA calculations. See the Academic Registry website for details.

 

Please request an official transcript from your host institution for HKBU before your departure. This is for unit transfer purposes. As well, it serves as an official document that you have completed your studies at the host institution.

 

You may be asked by the professors to provide materials concerning the subjects that you have taken at the host institution.  This may include the course syllabi and your coursework, etc.  Spare room in your luggage for these materials.
