Forms and Documents for UMW Faculty Leading Programs Abroad

UMW Faculty-Led Program Proposal Guidelines – CIE welcomes proposals for new study abroad programs from UMW faculty. This short publication will walk you through the process for getting a new program approved.

UMW Faculty-Led Program Proposal Template – Use this template when putting together a new faculty led study abroad program.

Faculty-Led Program Fact Sheet – A tool for projecting the cost of a faculty-led program.  An approved Fact Sheet must be on file for each Study Abroad program.  The final deadline to submit Fact Sheets is September 1 of the year prior to travel, but Fact Sheets may be submitted for approval at any time up to that date.

Faculty-Led Program Emergency Contact Information – Trip leaders are required to provide this information to CIE so that groups can be contacted in the event of an emergency at home while the group is abroad.  CIE will provide Emergency Contact Cards for each student and staff member traveling with the group.

Study Abroad Finance Information and International Expense Report – Accounts payable has provided an excellent tool for effectively tracking expenses both in international currencies and US Dollars.

Study Abroad Incident Report - In the event of an incident abroad, including accident or injury, academic misconduct, sexual misconduct, or other issues involving students while traveling internationally, please file an incident report immediately with CIE.  CIE will work with the Vice President for Student Affairs, Office of the Provost, and UMW Department of Public Safety to formulate an appropriate response while the Faculty Director focuses his/her attention on events abroad.

Sample Student Code of Conduct - This sample agreement between students and faculty can be tailored to suit specific faculty-led programs.  Use of a code of conduct agreement to clearly set forth faculty expectations is highly encouraged.
