Meeting & Agendas

Based on different program models proposed to IPAC committee late last year, the IP office has moved to a proposal of a three year program cycle commitment from departments. With 14 available program slots to fill, each interested department would commit to running the proposed program for three years (2012, 2013, and 2014). The same academic content and logistical structure would be offered for three years in a row, while faculty may change due to staffing changes or other commitments. IP Staff will be available to discuss issues that may arise regarding program development, rules, regulations and timelines. A Faculty Handbook for ACC sponsored study abroad programs will be available in August 2011 to provide information concerning program development responsibilities after a proposal is approved. All complete study abroad proposals are due August 29, 2011. Incomplete proposals will not be accepted at any point. After August 29 deadline , all complete proposals will be reviewed and ranked by ACC\'s Deans and the International Programs Advisory Committee. Rankings from Deans and IPAC will assist the IP Office and Office of Environmental, Health, Safety and Insurance in assessing program security, safety, health and logistic requirements. IP Office will then then forward final recommendations to Mike Midgley, VP of Instruction for final approval. Final roster will then be available and announced by mid October. We encourage all to take advantage of the available resources through the IP Office to make your program development a success.
