Taking Students Abroad
University of Oklahoma faculty members on any OU campus who are planning to take students abroad need to follow the University of Oklahoma’s Emergency Protocol for Safety and Uniformity on Study Abroad. This protocol outlines the procedures and requirements that must be followed for safety, liability and recording-keeping reasons. The Office of Education Abroad on the Norman campus is the central clearinghouse for compliance.
All students being taken abroad are entered into a central database. In addition to record keeping, Education Abroad serves as a resource and training facility for faculty leading study abroad trips. Professors should feel free to make appointments with Karen Elmore or Millie Audas if there are questions about the Emergency Protocol or planned trips abroad.
Training for faculty members will be available beginning in the spring of 2008. Information will appear on this site.
Research and Teaching Abroad
The exchange agreement that is signed between the University of Oklahoma and a partner university abroad usually contains a clause on faculty exchanges and research collaboration. If you are interested in making connections with one of our partner universities for either purpose, please contact Millie Audas, Director of Education Abroad and International Student Services.Faculty who are traveling abroad for academic reasons are encouraged to make contact with partner universities abroad to discuss topics of mutual interest.
