Purpose

To ensure that study abroad and other international activities/programs using the name of Xavier University of Louisiana (XULA) with involved students and/or faculty are properly identified and registered with the Center for Intercultural and International Programs.

Policy

Any faculty member, administrator, staff, or student who plans to conduct an activity/program involving students and/or faculty with travel abroad must contact, in writing, the Center for Intercultural and International Programs (CIIP) following established protocols that can be found on the CIIP website or by contacting CIIP.  CIIP can provide expert advice on procedures that should be used to improve the success of the activity/program. 

CIIP will ensure that the appropriate legal documents are properly executed to protect the University and all participants.  If academic credit is awarded, proper signatures will be required from the appropriate chair and dean.  The data collected by CIIP will be used:

• to contact travelers in case of an emergency or critical development;
• to prepare reports on the global activity of students, faculty, administrators, and staff;
• to publicize the global activities at XULA; and
• to confirm that participants in overseas programs are properly insured.

For faculty, staff, and administrators traveling on university business, please complete the International Travel Registration Form and send all supporting documentation to Ms. Karen Lee kwlee@tincyn.net
