190.8 Study Away Committee Operating Procedures

A. Background
A Study Away program is defined as any Furman travel program that
provides academic credit and that requires off-campus housing for an
aggregate of ten or more days. The Study Away Committee is responsible
for working with the administration and academic departments to develop
and maintain study away programs and to review affiliated and student
exchange programs.
|
| |
|
B. Policy
Study Away programs must be approved by all relevant departments, the
Study Away Committee, the general faculty, and the academic
administration. Affiliated or student exchange programs must be approved
by the Study Away Committee and the academic administration.

C. Guidelines
1. A proposal for a study away program will be submitted to the
Assistant Dean for Study Away and International Education and the Study
Away Committee. Proposal forms and guidelines are available on the
website of the Office for Study Away and International Education.
2. The Study Away Committee will evaluate the study away proposal
and, if approved, will present the proposal to the faculty for action.
Consideration of new individual courses, if any, will be the
responsibility of the Curriculum Committee.
3. After approval by the faculty, the study away proposal will be
sent to the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean for final
approval.
4. The Assistant Dean for Study Away and International Education, in
consultation with the relevant departments and the Study Away Committee,
will determine when approved programs will be offered to students.
These programs are administered by the Assistant Dean for Study Away and
International Education according to Policy 112.6.
5. The Study Away Committee will evaluate and approve affiliated
study away and student exchange programs and will inform the faculty of
their decisions regarding these programs. The Study Away Committee will
periodically review these programs and report to the faculty.
