Study Abroad
Faculty-led Study Tours
Guidelines and Forms
In order to facilitate faculty-led programming options, OIE, in conjunction with IEC, have developed the following links for faculty to review prior to submitting a study tour proposal.
Faculty preparing a study tour proposal must submit a completed application, including letters of support from their department chair and college dean. In addition, an estimated budget must be attached.
Timeline
Please note that to adequately develop a quality program, development requires a minimum of 24 months.
After an international study program is approved and offered at least 3 times over the past 5 years, the program may be evaluated by the IEC for conversion to the status of an ongoing international study program. The leader must provide a complete program review package after the third time the program has been offered, and after every third year thereafter.

UW-La Crosse’s Policy regarding Recreational Travel
(Effective: Fall 2007)
Recreational programming has been defined as programs that do not provide an academic credit or a community integration (service learning) component. These programs are identified as travel intended for the enjoyment of the participant.
Recreational travel arranged independently by UWL faculty or staff may be coordinated by the faculty/staff member as an individual, not as employees of UWL.
UW-La Crosse, in compliance with UW System, will not support programs that do not contain educational value. Students and staff participating in these non-sponsored programs do so at their own risk.
