WVU courses abroad are the most common way that WVU students study abroad. All faculty teaching a course abroad must complete the faculty-led program proposal. All faculty, staff, and students traveling abroad for academic conferences and other non-teaching related activities must complete the WVU International Travel Registration.
New Faculty-led Program Requests
Faculty wishing to propose a new program are asked to submit a New Faculty-led Program Request by July 1 for programming being offered the coming academic year. This request will be used to provide OGA support for program development, including review of the current program portfolio to address concerns regarding competition and viability, introductions to approved program providers, and/or to initiate review of new providers when necessary.
New programs are defined as:
Programs that have not been offered through WVU
Major adjustments to current programs such as changes to location and/or provider.
Minor changes to programs such as faculty/chaperone changes, dates shifts, or adjustments to course syllabus do not require submission of the New Faculty-led program Request. These adjustments can be made in the formal program proposal, links below.
New faculty-led programs will need to complete a formal program proposal using the links below after initial discussion and development of the new program with OGA is complete and an approved provider is selected.
Proposal Submission Deadlines:
Fall Semester Programming: February 1
Thanksgiving & Winter Break Programming: July 1
Spring & Spring Break Programming: September 1
Maymester & Summer Programming: November 1
Note: First time users of the WVUAbroad system will be required to set up a profile upon logging in with the WVU SSO system before proceeding with the proposal documents.
