There are several joint agreements for international agreements that facilitate cooperation, exchanges and other types of partnerships. The Directive on the Approval of Memoranda of Understanding, Affiliations and Other Agreements is in place to facilitate interactions between teachers, staff and students with others, both in the field and around the world. The Propstes` office approves and follows memberships and declarations of intent: I have questions about an agreement and I want to call someone. Who can I call? Its agreement must be approved if it implies that, from the university`s point of view, it is not necessary to develop a research membership agreement if there is no obligation for university resources for research cooperation or an obligation for student mobility. However, in these cases too, a research membership agreement may be required if the foreign institution requires it or to obtain research funding. Dual Degree Program: an agreement in which the two participating institutions award the student a separate degree. Essentially, the student strives to complete courses at both institutions and meets the requirements of each institution through a number of approved transfers. Does my agreement need to be approved by the prophet`s office? This is an agreement between the university and another institution for the exchange of faculties for teaching or research purposes in the partner institution. From the university`s point of view, it is not necessary to develop a faculty exchange agreement if there is no obligation of university resources.

However, an agreement is useful for establishing a formal relationship with the partner institution and can contribute to the sustainability of exchanges over time. Reciprocal exchanges should be developed in close collaboration with the Office of Foreign Studies and are monitored by it for risk and sustainability. An articulated transfer of credits can lead to a so-called “plus” program, in which a student takes some course work at one institution (usually either one or two years of credit) and then transfers that credit to the second institution. The second institution has previously defined course equivalencies for this course work and accepts the related credits. The student takes the rest of the course at the second institution and thus deserves a degree from the second institution. “Plus” programs can also be called “1+3” or “2+2”. My agreement does not involve payments. Does it still need to be approved? If you are still uns sure if your agreement needs to be approved, please email MOU@tufts.edu. There are many types of agreements. We have given some of the most common examples below.

Please contact Global Carolina at globalcarolina@sc.edu if you are interested in an international agreement. All agreements of Tufts University and its units with universities, nonprofits, or other international and domestic institutions must undergo an internal audit process prior to signing to ensure compliance with university guidelines and to confirm institutional approval and assistance. . . .
