About UQwest

Simplifying Course Equivalency for Global Student Exchanges

Our Mission

UQwest was created to simplify one of the most frustrating parts of planning a university exchange: getting courses approved. Instead of relying on scattered information and long email chains, students can search past equivalencies, explore course options, and submit new requests in one place. By centralizing course data and using AI to assist with comparisons, UQwest helps students make confident decisions while giving universities more efficient tools to manage approvals.

What We Offer

AI-Assisted MatchingFind equivalent courses at partner universities instantly.
Equivalency DatabaseBrowse thousands of pre-approved course equivalencies.
Automated RequestsSubmit and track approvals without endless emails.
Staff DashboardsManage review queues and analytics in one place.

Disclaimer

UQwest is a guidance tool to help students identify potential exchange courses and past equivalencies. Final course approval remains subject to your home university's policies. Please confirm all equivalencies with your academic advisor before making academic decisions.

Our Story

We are two Mechanical Engineering students at McGill University who experienced firsthand how confusing and frustrating course approvals can be during our exchanges. What started off as a personal frustration turned into a mission to simplify student exchanges globally. We have built the entire platform ourselves, from the ground up.
