Returning to Hebrew University

 

We hope you had an amazing experience on your student exchange program and that it was an opportunity for meaningful learning on both an academic and a personal level.

You may experience mixed feelings or even some difficulty settling back into routine upon your return. Please know that we are here to help. If necessary, contact HUJI Psychological Services for support.

At the end of the stay abroad, and no later than two weeks from the date of return, a form requesting recognition of the courses studied abroad must be completed. Along with the form, syllabi and an official transcript must also be submitted.

What should I do when I get back?

Course recognition

 

As mentioned, academic credits and tuition payment will be dealt with after you return to Israel. When you get back, you must submit the internal report card with the courses studied abroad in order to determine your course load at Hebrew University. You will receive credit for these courses after receiving the official transcript of grades from your host university, which will be transferred electronically or as a hard copy within no more than three months from the day you return to Israel. Credit will be granted according to rules of equivalence.

The grades of courses studied abroad as part of a student exchange agreement recognized by Hebrew University will not be recorded; instead, you will be awarded credit points.

 

Questionnaire

When you return to Israel, you will receive an email with a request to complete a questionnaire about your exchange experience. This is important and insightful information for us and for future generations of exchange students, and we greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Meetings with students

Several times a year, HUJI’s International Office organizes joint events for international students and Israeli students who participated in student exchange programs, in order to encourage personal contact and to share information. We welcome you to take part in these events, as they are an opportunity to meet students from the university where you studied abroad, reciprocate the warm welcome you received while abroad, create new ties, and share your personal experiences. We hope you will join us!
