Faculty Guideline
	The Office of International Programs (OIP) at Chicago State University (CSU) is pleased to present to you this faculty guide to international programming. It is intended to provide general information and guidance for faculty interested in facilitating international programs abroad. The OIP works collaboratively with all offices, departments and programs interested in developing international initiatives.
All projects abroad have great potential to benefit CSU students, thereby increasing and enhancing CSU's role in the global community. To advance these efforts, it is important that the OIP be actively involved with the planning and implementation of all international projects at their inception. Additionally, it is important that OIP and university policies are carefully adhered to regarding students traveling out of the country. Such adherence benefits the students, faculty and the university as a whole.
