Faculty Resources for Study Abroad
-
Getting Started
- Every program involving faculty working with students outside of the United States must be approved by the Overseas Study Advisory Council (OSAC). This includes independent study classes and not-for-credit courses. OSAC's role is outlined here.
- OSAC has developed a set of guidelines for developing proposals. These Guidelines apply to all IU campuses proposing overseas study programs.
- IUPUI faculty must initially submit their proposals to the IUPUI Director of Study Abroad. The IUPUI Study Abroad Office will work with IUPUI faculty to develop a complete proposal, which will then be submitted by us to OSAC for approval.
- Proposals may be submitted at any time. After IUPUI approval, they are reviewed by a sub-committee prior to final OSAC approval.
-
Required Reports
- Within a month after the completion of a study abroad program the program director is required to submit a Director's Report. The report should be sent to the IUPUI Study Abroad Office who will forward it to OSAC. For an example of how to write this report click on the Directors Report Template.

Insurance
- Some domestic health insurance policies may provide coverage during international travel. Check your current health insurance policy to verify what type of coverage it provides and if it will cover you for the duration of your program abroad.
- If your current policy provides coverage, it may only cover accident or illness expenses outside of the U.S. We recommend both students and faculty get coverage for medical evacuation, which pays for the expenses to send the patient to a medical facility or back to the U.S. for medical treatment, and repatriation, which covers the expenses to return an individual's remains to their home country in the event of death.
- Personal Accident Insurance through Indiana University's Benefit Plans. This is an optional benefit with additional cost. It is not a part of the regular medical insurance plan. If you aren't already enrolled in personal accident insurance, then you can't add it until the next open enrollment period.
