Faculty-led Renewal Process
The renewal process is for Xavier faculty-led study abroad programs that have previously been offered. (Once a Xavier University international program has been offered, faculty program leaders do not need to go through the formal approval process of the EAAC - Education Abroad Advisory Council). The renewal process informs the University which programs will be offered, reconfirms the faculty leader is aware of current University requirements, and allows for ample time for promotion /recruitment across campus. The Program Summary and Renewal Form should be submitted each time the study abroad program is offered. The renewal process does not encompass course approval. Courses are approval through BUGS/BOGS.
To begin the renewal process, please complete the Study Abroad Renewal Form and Program Budget Form by September 15, 2015.
Things to do:
1. Complete the program renewal form online
2. Attach to renewal form an initial program budget
3. Submit in requested time frame:
a. September 15 for programs to be held the next summer session, or fall semester.
