For SUNY Oneonta Faculty Interested in Running a Program:

Faculty-Led programs abroad are a professional development opportunity and can provide a unique format for collaboration with overseas colleagues and partners.
The OGE is accepting syllabus submission forms and program proposal packets for Winter 2024 programs and beyond. See submission deadlines below.

To begin the set-up and logistical process for potential programs, contact Faculty-Led Program Coordinator Matthew Lerman at Matthew.Lerman@oneonta.edu. Submit proposal materials to Matthew.Lerman@oneonta.edu.

See further details regarding FLPs in the University Sponsored Student Travel policy.

Step 1:

For international FLPs, syllabi are required to be reviewed and approved by the Department Chair and Dean before the Program Proposal is submitted. Syllabi must follow and meet the requirements of the SUNY Oneonta Syllabus Guidelines.

• Syllabus Submission Form
• Course Syllabus

Step 2:

• FLP Abroad Proposal Form
• Budget - See Budget Template
• Itinerary
• CVs for both program leaders

Step 3:

OGE will work with faculty leaders on the process to create detail code for student payments.

Step 4:

Program leader(s) must create a detailed emergency & COVID-19 contingency plan (OGE Emergency Plan Template) and submit it to/discuss it with the OGE. The emergency plan must include:

• The identification of location and contact information of American (and other country if non-American citizen students are part of the program) Embassies and Consulates in country/countries of travel.
• Accommodation information (addresses and contact information)
• Flight information
• Emergency numbers in-country (ambulance, police, fire department)
• Program leader(s) contact information and contact in case program leader(s) cannot be reached
• Nearest hospital/emergency medical facility for each program location and contact information for the facilities
• Alternate meeting place in case of emergency
• SUNY international health insurance contact information

For SUNY Oneonta faculty sponsoring NON-CREDIT international student travel:

1. Faculty sponsors/leaders must notify the OGE of non-credit international student ravel at least two months prior to student travel by emailing globaled@oneonta.edu with the travel itinerary (locations & dates) and participant roster with student & faculty contact information. It is vital that the OGE know of student international travel so the office may enroll the students and faculty leader (if applicable) in international health insurance and inform them of health and safety requirements.
2. Students must complete the "Non-Credit International Travel" application in the OGE Global Portal. After the OGE "commits" them in the portal, the students will be able to complete the required "next steps" forms. These must be completed at least two months prior to student travel.
3. The Faculty-Led Program Coordinator will submit student travel information to the University-Sponsored Student Travel Registry for information management of all University-sponsored student travel.

See the Non-Credit International Student Travel procedures for full details (part of the University Sponsored Student Travel Policy).

NOTE: Due to COVID-19, the SUNY Office of Global Affairs currently requires campuses to submit petitions to offer any university-sponsored international student travel. Faculty sponsors must assist the OGE with preparing the petition form to submit to SUNY Global.
