Term and Renewal of an Agreement

Term Length and Expiration: Every agreement should include an expiration date (usually no more than 3-5 years from date of last signature) and make an extension conditional upon a positive evaluation of the collaboration under the agreement. Automatic renewal clauses are disfavored.

Extensions/Renewals:  Extensions and renewals are contracts and must go through the normal agreements process. Requests for extensions or renewals should be submitted at least one (1) year prior to the expiration of the existing agreement.

Outcomes and Goals: Faculty champions will be expected to explain the outcomes accomplished under the existing agreement and describe the goals and expected outcomes sought over the renewal period. The collaboration will be evaluated with input from interested stakeholders including, but not limited to, college/campus leadership, Global Programs, the Office of Undergraduate Education, and the Graduate School. Global Programs will also consider feedback and evaluations provided each year by college/campus leadership in response to the Annual Reports of International Agreements.
