International Agreements

Feasibility Report

Completion of the Feasibility Report for A New Partnership Agreement

For faculty and staff beginning the process of considering an international partnership agreement, USF World recommends colleagues initiate department/college level discussions regarding a potential inter-institutional relationship. Department Chairs and College Deans will need to sign the Feasibility Report so that proposers have confidence their initiative will be supported. It is critical that the proposing faculty and staff are familiar with the institutions they are considering working with.

The questions on the Feasibility Report are designed to assist faculty and staff consider whether these institutions represent viable colleagues and to ensure USF faculty are confident about this potential opportunity. Consideration also needs to be given to the estimated annual resources required to successfully implement this agreement and to what type of support funds will be needed (E&G, Foundation, tuition waivers, etc.).
