UMAP Institutions

To understand the expectations at the outset, U.S. UMAP has been explicit in setting out a list of minimal institutional roles and responsibilities that must be met by U.S. UMAP member institutions and those wishing to exchange with U.S. UMAP. Both the application for U.S. UMAP membership and the memoranda of understanding which regional institutions sign with U.S. UMAP detail the following roles and responsibilities.

Institutions participating in U.S. UMAP exchanges agree to:

designate a UMAP contact person;

waive tuition for students exchanged under UMAP auspices;

evaluate and report the performance of participants;

recognize work completed overseas and award credit appropriately;

provide the agreed upon program(s) of study;

ensure satisfactory living conditions;

provide appropriate health care, counseling and other support services;

receive, if requested, a UMAP student within two years of sending one;

provide an appropriate orientation for students sent and received; and

promote UMAP to students, faculty and staff.
