Non-credit International
Program Proposal Template
Marquette faculty, staff or student organizations interested in coordinating, leading or
participating in a service or other non-credit international travel program are invited to
plan and propose the program following the Non-credit International Program Proposal
Template and submit it for approval by the deadlines below.
Application deadline for summer stand-alone programs:

Application deadline for January session or spring break
programs

Any student group travel must have an MU faculty or staff leader who proposes
the program and participates in the entirety of the international travel with
students, per UPP 1-18.
Applications will be reviewed and evaluated following a multi-step process. An
initial review for safety, health and risk implications will be conducted by the
Office of International Education (OIE) and, if the staff deems it necessary, by
Marquette University Offices of the General Counsel and Risk Management. OIE
will then submit the proposal to the Office of the Provost for final review and
approval.
Once the program is approved, minimum student enrollment must be achieved.
Safety and health review is ongoing to the date of departure and continues in
country. Marquette reserves the right to cancel a program at any time due to
safety and health issues.
Contact Karli Webster, Manager of Education Abroad at 288-7289 or
