Proposing a Program
Program Proposal Process
International and Domestic Programs (with mobility)
Complete and submit the Faculty-Directed Global Education Program Proposal. Submissions must include a Syllabus for each course offered on the program.
To access your saved drafts and proposal submissions, use the ‘Submissions’ tab on the Kuali homepage.
New Program Development
Faculty are requested to meet with Shira Burns (shira.burns@asu.edu), Associate Director of Faculty Directed programs, prior to the first submission.
The ideal planning time for a program is 12-18 months out from the term for which you are proposing. All program proposals will be reviewed by the following:
- Proposer’s Chair/Director and Dean
- Global Education Office (Director, Associate Director of International Health, Safety, and Security)
- Office of the University Provost (Vice Provost for Academic Personnel, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education)
Please see the following table for submission deadlines. For planning purposes, all programs will be reviewed collectively after the respective deadlines pass for each term.
| July 1 | November 1 | April 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Summer | Winter Break | Spring Break |
| Pre-Fall | Pre-Spring | Post-Spring |
| Fall Semester | Spring Semester |
Review Criteria
Please note that submission of a proposal is not a guarantee that it will be approved. Because the volume of programs has outpaced student demand for this type of global education experience, program proposals will be evaluated based on a number of criteria such as:
- Health and safety considerations in the proposed destination
- Logistical practicalities of proposed program including affordability
- Anticipated student demand
- Enrollment history of program if previously proposed
- Ability of established Global Education Office partners to support proposed program
- International Coordinator capacity
If your program is not approved, you are invited to resubmit the following year.
Emergency Academic Continuity Plan
Each faculty leader will be responsible for submitting an Emergency Academic Continuity Plan to the Global Education Office. In this document, lead faculty will be required to identify ASU employees not already affiliated with the GEO program (i.e., faculty, staff, or qualified graduate student) to serve as a back-up for each proposed program leader in case of emergency, either before the start of the program or while the program is in session. If both program leaders are teaching ASU courses on the GEO program, the identified back-ups must have the appropriate credentials to deliver those ASU courses. The GEO requests that the faculty leader submit a completed Emergency Academic Continuity Plan to the appropriate International Coordinator by the student application deadline. Programs will not be confirmed without having this completed form on file.
