Post-Program Reports

Within one month of the end of the program, the director/lead administrator must submit a summary report to the Overseas Study Advisory Council (OSAC) via Education Abroad that addresses each of the points below.  To do so, please click on the link provided to access the report form and provide the required information. For the three Educational Program Outcomes questions, please ensure that you provide enough detail for OSAC to be able to adequately review and reauthorize the program. The 500 word limit for each of these questions allows for approximately one full page of text per question. If there is not enough information provided, the report will need to be revised and resubmitted. Note: for ease of use, and for your own records, it is advised that answers be drafted in a word document and then cut/pasted into the form itself.  There is no option to save and return.

Note: It is the responsibility of the program leader(s) to proactively contact Education Abroad directly if they:
  • Experienced any significant challenges with the implementation of their program;
  • Have any concerns that they would like to discuss relative to their program;
  • Wish to consult with Education Abroad Staff on potential program modificaitons;
  • Have a Clery Incident to report; and/or
  • Have a Title IX incident to report.
