Academic Arrangements. Each institution will strive to exchange students on a semester quid-pro-quo over a reasonable period of time, not to exceed three (3) years. It is the intent of this agreement that under normal circumstances, each academic year four (4) INITIAL students will attend SFASU during the Fall semester and two (2) SFASU students will attend INITIAL for one year (two consecutive semesters). Regardless of any provision to the contrary, if an imbalance exists entering into the final year of the agreement, the institution which has hosted more students will be permitted to send additional students until the imbalance has been cured. Each institution is responsible for the evaluation of its own students’ credentials to ensure preparedness for the exchange (academic profile, language skill, motivation, and overall potential to succeed in an international academic environment). Exchange students will register for classes on arrival, must meet the prerequisite requirements for enrollment and all courses taken at the host institution, and possess any required language proficiency to conduct the intended studies at the host institution. Each host institution reserves the right not to accept a student for exchange whose academic or other qualifications for participation in the program are not deemed appropriate or adequate, and in such cases, additional students may be provided by that exchange student’s home institution. All exchange students and study abroad or visiting students shall be subject to the same policies and regulations that pertain to regularly enrolled students at the host institution, including student conduct and academic policies of the host institution for matters specifically related to their program. Both SFASU and INITIAL retain sole discretion to dismiss a student from the program at any time for failure to maintain appropriate standards of conduct according to the hosting university’s policies and standards. Students so dismissed will be deregistered from all classes, all tuition and fees will be forfeited in accordance with each university’s policy, and the student so dismissed will be expelled from student housing and escorted to the airport by a designated official. Neither university is responsible for any fees due to the airline, which must be paid by the student or will be charged to the home university if student does not have the necessary funds. Notice of such dismissal must be sent to the Xxxx of Students, or equivalent office, at the student’s home institution and the individuals noted above under Administration and Implementation. The academic record of each exchange student shall be sent directly to his/her home institution at the conclusion of each semester. Records relating to the visiting exchange student will be confidentially maintained and released only to the following: the student themselves, anyone designated in writing signed by the student, the home institutions, or an individual with a legitimate need to know (e.g. host institution faculty and employees, medical providers treating the student, etc.). It is the sole responsibility of the home institution to determine transferable credits and grade equivalencies. The host institution shall arrange and conduct a comprehensive on-site orientation program for exchange students, scholars and faculty members upon their arrival at the host institution. This program shall include, at a minimum, information concerning any known, abnormally dangerous conditions on the premises or in the host city or country, such as threat of crime, terrorism, civil unrest, or disease. The program shall orient the exchange students, scholars and faculty members on applicable institutional policies and regulations, available public transportation, medical facilities, and notable cultural differences and etiquette. Financial Arrangements: Exchange students will pay tuition and incidental fees to their home institution. Students will be responsible for extra-curricular or optional fees, including fees for optional student services, incurred at the host institution for the entire period they are in exchange. Students attending SFASU as degree seeking or visiting students will be assessed out-of-state tuition and fees as determined by SFASU, and SFASU students traveling abroad will pay tuition and fees as determined by the host institution, which may not be greater than the tuition and fees charged to non-residents. Exchange students will be exempt from paying fees normally included in the host institution’s tuition and fee schedule at the host institution. Exchange students will be responsible for all the other incurred expenses, including health and medical insurance, room and board, domestic and international transportation, books, and student organization fees at the host institution. The host institution will provide assistance with finding suitable accommodation and registration formalities. Each student, scholar or faculty member shall be responsible for obtaining any and all visas or required documentation to enter and study in the host country. Each host institution shall assist the students in notifying them of what documentation is required and the process for obtaining that documentation. All costs associated with this documentation shall be borne by the student, scholar or faculty member.
