Exchange application processing

How can I track the status of my Global Semester Program application?

Once you have submitted your Global Semester Program application, you will receive updates about your application status via your student email account and on the online application portal.

Status categories for applications are:

1. Pending: The default status of the Global Semester Program application. If you have completed all questions have submitted your application electronically, you will receive an email confirming your application submission.  
2. Approved by Melbourne (conditional): Your University of Melbourne Global Semester Program application has been conditionally approved by Global Learning. You should receive an email from Global Learning confirming your approval.
3. Nominated: You have received an email detailing how to complete your host institution application form. If you have not received this email and your application status reads 'Nominated', please contact Global Learning immediately. Remember to check your junk mail inbox. Once you receive your official acceptance of your application by the host institution, provide this to the Global Learning team by submitting an enquiry.
4. Accepted Host Institution: Global Learning have received an acceptance notification from your host institution and a University of Melbourne acceptance letter has been issued to you. This can be accessed in the Documents tab of your Global Semester Program application portal.
5. Committed: After receiving an automatic email from the application system, you will log in and commit to the Global Semester Program.

Other statuses to note:

• Unsuccessful: Your application was not approved by Global Learning to study overseas in the current round. You can apply again in a later round.
• Withdrawn: You have withdrawn from the Global Semester Program.
• Reserved: The exchange agreement for Medical students to the University of Oslo has a limited number of places and more applicants than can be accommodated. To maximise those places, a small reserve list of students is maintained should someone withdraw from a confirmed place at a suitable time in the semester to allow a replacement to be nominated.
