Cooperative
Agreement
English PDF/English
Word or Spanish
PDF/Spanish Word
This document provides for coordinating academic activities between
the University of Florida and another international institution. It
is an "agreement to be agreeable," more of a ceremonial document,
and useful with officials whose cultural foundation is comfortable
with a formal declaration of intent. Its provisions address: visits
of faculty/students to either institution; research or teaching ventures
at either institution; the interchange of ideas regarding the development
of programs at either institution; general hospitality, one to the
other, at a university. Beyond these rather general terms, subsequent
agreements or contracts must be devised to cover specific situations.
For example, if an exchange of students is involved, a Reciprocal Student
Exchange Agreement, a legally binding document, must be written and
signed by both parties. Or, a unique proposal may be drafted. Agreement needs to be submitted to UFIC electronically PRIOR to being signed by either institution.
