APPENDIX I: INTERNATIONAL TEACHER IDENTIFICATION CARD ...............................17
Congratulations on being selected to teach on an FSU International Program!
2
We are delighted to have you as an integral part of our team.
Now that you have been accepted, we offer you this packet of information to
assist you with your next steps. These are some preliminary issues you should consider
as you prepare for your overseas teaching assignment.
It is of extreme importance that each Program Leader and faculty member is
knowledgeable with the details of his/her program’s safety and emergency
procedures.
While the Program Leader (for programs not housed wholly in a city with a
year-round Study Center) is responsible for the development and execution of
his/her program’s specific plan, it is essential that all faculty members on the
program are knowledgeable and able to assist with its implementation. We
strongly encourage you to read the “Program Leader Operations Guide” to
better prepare yourself in the event of an emergency. All Non-Study Center
Program Leaders and faculty, and any faculty who are responsible for
students outside of their Study Center, are required to attend Faculty
Orientation in Tallahassee prior to leaving Tallahassee. The International
Programs Program Management Staff will notify you of the orientation dates
and times.
Program Leaders and faculty at Study Centers are also responsible for
understanding and supporting the safety and emergency procedures at their
respective Study Center locations. All faculty are responsible for their
students in class and during academic field trips. Safety plans, emergency
procedures, and emergency telephone numbers will be provided at the onsite
faculty orientation. All Study Center and Program Leaders and faculty are
required to attend the onsite Faculty Orientation. The International Programs
Management Staff will contact the faculty on the date and time of the
orientation (which is usually the day before the students arrive for the
program.)
We ask that you read this packet carefully, comply with the established
deadlines, and read the information and documents thoroughly. If you do not
have all the information required, or if you have any questions, please contact
our office. Our goal is to assist you in the planning of a successful study
abroad experience.

TRAVEL INFORMATION__________________________________________
Visas and Work Permits
For Visa, Work Permit and Dependent Entry Clearance Information: Contact Tina Brooks
at cbrooks2@fsu.edu for information for your particular program’s location.
Passport Information
If you have not already done so, please apply for your U.S. passport now! It will take at
least 4–6 weeks to process, longer if you must send away for your birth certificate.
5
 Birth Certificate. You will need an official birth certificate from the Bureau of Vital
Statistics in the state in which you were born. (It must have the Bureau’s seal
embossed on the paper). The main post office can give you the address of the
office in your native state and the cost of the certificate, or you can find this
information via the Internet at: vitalrec.com/index.html. Check with your local
county board of health for information obtaining birth certificates.
 Passport Application. Florida State University International Programs has been
designated a Passport Acceptance Facility by the U.S. Department of State.
Students, faculty, staff, and members of the community can apply for a U.S.
passport and/or passport card directly through our office, thus bypassing a special
trip to the courthouse or post office.
As a Passport Acceptance Facility, we are authorized to receive your completed
application for a U.S. passport and submit the application and all necessary
documentation to Passport Services on your behalf. Passport Services will then
determine eligibility for a U.S. Passport. It is important to note that only Passport
Services can make the final decision to issue a passport to an individual.
As part of our services, our Passport Acceptance Facility can provide you with the
necessary forms required to apply for a U.S. passport, as well as other passportrelated forms. In addition, we are authorized to accept applications for the new
U.S. passport card. We also offer an on-site passport photo service.
 Passport Photographs. Two official passport-size pictures (2 in. x 2 in.) are
needed for your passport application. You may purchase passport photos at the
International Programs Passport Office, most copy centers, drugstores, or travel
agencies. Also, your travel agent may provide this service free of charge.
 Passport Copies. Make three photocopies of the pages in your passport that
contain the issue date, your signature, and your photograph. Leave one copy at
home with a relative or friend, take one for the Study Center (if you are teaching at
a Study Center location) and carry one separate from your passport in case it is
lost or stolen. Please email a digital copy of that page to Jennifer Fisher in the
Tallahassee office at jafisher@fsu.edu prior to departure.
 IMPORTANT: The passport must not expire within 6 months of your return (9
months in Italy) to the United States. If it does, you must apply for renewal of your
passport before your departure.
Transportation-Flight Arrangements
Airfare is provided for all Program Leaders and faculty members. Faculty are
responsible for making transportation arrangements to and from the international
location for themselves and their families. While we advise you to book your
flights; please, DO NOT purchase a ticket until IP has confirmed your
assignment. You are welcome to make a flight reservation to arrive/depart on different
6
dates to/from different locations. However, International Programs will only reimburse
up to the price of a ticket as discussed above.
Once you purchase your ticket, please fax or email a copy of your itinerary showing the
price, ticket number and form of payment to Patti Wilmer at: 850-645-0919 or
pwilmer@fsu.edu.
You may choose to book your ticket using your own travel agency or through an on-line
website; however, International Programs is not authorized to recommend a travel
agency.
NOTE: International Programs cannot reimburse you for a ticket purchased
with frequent flyer miles. We will only be able to reimburse the taxes
associated with that purchase.
You should arrive at the international airport check-in desk at least 3 hours before
your scheduled departure. Make sure that your baggage is checked through to your final
destination.
Please, do not book your airline ticket until you receive approval from International
Programs Program Management. Your approval will include your approved arrival and
departure dates.
U.S. Customs
You should have no difficulty with U.S. Customs or Customs in your host country,
although there are limits on the amount of tobacco you may take into a country. When
you return to the U.S., you will undergo careful inspection at U.S. Customs. Please be
sure to check the below U.S. Customs website concerning duty regulations.
https://help.cbp.gov/app/home
Baggage and Shipment
Since the charges for excess baggage can be very high, be certain to obtain precise
information on baggage weight and size regulations. If you plan to fly from one
European country to another, be advised that baggage regulations may be very different
than they were on your flight from the U.S. to your initial overseas location. Please
check with your airline for up-to-date policies and regulations since they are
constantly changing. Generally, luggage is limited to one checked bag and one
carry-on for international flights.
If you plan to ship materials to your overseas location before you leave the U.S., we
advise that you ship by Air Parcel to allow plenty of time for their arrival (8 to 12
weeks). But keep in mind this can be an expensive option. You may wish to ship by
Surface Post, but using this method may require several months for your material to
arrive. Check all shipment times with your local Post Office. Your compensation includes
7
a shipping allowance that may be used to cover excess baggage fees, baggage weight
penalties, and/or shipping costs.
Approved shipping allowances vary by program. You will receive the specifics of your
approved shipping allowance in your invitation letter.
For reimbursement, you will need to email the original receipt to Patti Wilmer at:
International Programs
Florida State University
A5500 University Center
282 Champions Way
PO Bos 3062420
Tallahassee, FL 32306-2420
All normal living supplies are readily available at your overseas locale. Remember that
American electrical appliances are rarely usable except with the purchase of a converter
and often a transformer. Florida State University is not responsible for the loss of or
damage to your personal items. It is advisable that you obtain a short-term personal
property insurance policy if you are not already covered by your present policies.
INSURANCE INFORMATION
International Programs will provide full medical/evaluation coverage for all approved
faculty from the United States through our Cultural Insurance Services International
(CISI). Students participating in all of our study abroad programs are also covered by
this same insurance policy. For more information regarding your coverage please see
CISI’s insurance policy posted on the International Program’s website at:
http://international.fsu.edu/Usercontrols/docs/CISIInsurancePolicy.pdf
Inoculation and Medical Concerns
It is very important that you are aware of the specific requirements and health matters
in your program location. Information is available through the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention’s website: http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/default.aspx
 Tetanus booster. A tetanus booster shot is suggested if you have not had
one within the past 10 years.
 Regular Medication. Bring a good supply with you, as well as any doctors’
prescriptions. (Make sure the prescriptions are legible and include the chemical
formula.)
 Glasses or contact lenses. Take an extra pair or the prescription.
 Medical and dental care. Get routine medical and dental care before you
leave.
8
Money/Currency
Your stipend will be deposited directly to your home checking account in the United
States during the pay periods of your assignment overseas. If you have an American
ATM card from the PLUS group, you can use that card to obtain immediate cash from
your American bank account at most bank cash machines. It is advisable to contact
your financial institution to advise them that you will be using your ATM or
credit card(s) overseas. Some banks are now charging an international currency
conversion fee; please contact your bank to see if this applies to you.
The exchange rate is set daily, and you can draw the same limit as imposed on stateside
transactions. By using this option, you will avoid costly bank/exchange office conversion
fees and only pay the charge assessed for making an ATM cash withdrawal.
Make sure your ATM card “works” before you leave the country. Put money in your
checking account, and use your ATM card to access the funds. If you experience
problems, contact your bank. Please note that most ATM machines overseas do not
have alphabetical letters on the keyboard, so make sure you have a numerical PIN
number. Your ATM card will not access funds from a savings account while overseas.
If you will be using Traveler’s Checks, take enough to be used in case of an emergency
(i.e. loss of ATM card, power outage). If you have an American Express card you can
immediately cash personal checks drawn on your own account in the U.S. at any
American Express office. However, we discourage the use of travelers’ checks since
many locations no longer accept them.
Housing
On summer programs, housing is provided for the faculty member that will also
accommodate one traveling companion in the same room, at no additional charge. Fall
and Spring faculty are responsible for securing their own housing.
Faculty teaching at a Study Center are required to arrive one day prior to the program
start date. If you intend to arrive at your overseas location earlier than that date or stay
later than the end of the program, you must make special arrangements for the
additional housing dates. You will be responsible for expenses incurred on the extra
days. For additional dates in London housing, payment is to be made directly to Acorn
Educational Services. London faculty will receive a separate housing memo during the
spring term, prior to your summer assignment.
If you are planning on bringing relatives and/or friends, please keep in mind there may
be costs involved, and our overseas locations have limited space and may not be able to
accommodate all of your needs. Please contact Gisela Fisher at gfisher@fsu.edu for
further information.
Companions
9
In the summer, housing is provided for you and one companion. All faculty will be
asked to provide information on each of their companions that will be accompanying the
program. It is vital for the safety and security of each of your companions that you
inform IP of their participation.
All Teaching Faculty and Program Leaders at a Study Center are strongly encouraged to
purchase medical and emergency evacuation insurance for companions. At the end of
the program, you will be invoiced for any costs incurred by International Programs for
your companions. For insurance rates, please contact Gisela Fisher at gfisher@fsu.edu.
Insurance will be provided for Program Leaders, Faculty, and their companions when
not based at a Study Center.
International Driving Permit
In the event that you plan to drive a car while you are abroad, you may want to look
into obtaining an International Driving Permit. For more information, visit:
http://www.aaa.com/vacation/idpf.html
ACADEMIC INFORMATION________________________________________
General Information
The office of International Programs seeks to build an integrated curriculum that will
provide opportunities for students to make normal progress toward their degree.
Summer teaching assignments vary. If your teaching schedule permits, as a qualified
faculty member you may be asked to accept Directed Individual Study (DIS) work with
students majoring in your discipline. In addition, you may be asked to be a Professor of
Record for a student participating in our Internship Program.
Students give the best course evaluations to those faculty who can and do involve their
classes in the cultural settings. Maintaining acceptable high standards on overseas
programs requires constant effort and considerable skill. It is also very important that
you consider ways in which your classes can blend effectively with the mission and
purpose of your overseas study program or Study Center.
Course Descriptions and Course Textbook Adoption
When you applied, you were asked to submit a course description and textbook list. It is
imperative that we have this information for your students so that they may acquire any
needed texts prior to their departure. The course description you submitted will be
displayed on the International Programs website, as a link from the list of courses to be
offered each term. Based on these descriptions, students will be able to determine the
courses they may want to take, or even on which program they will want to participate.
10
Thus, it is important to make the descriptions exciting by showing how your course will
utilize the environment in which it will be taught. Non-FSU students may also request a
sample syllabus in order to receive pre-approval from their home institutions for the
courses they wish to take while on the program.
Prior to registration, you will be asked to review your on-line course description to
determine if there is a need for a change. You will also be asked for any changes in your
textbook requirements. Textbooks will not be ordered through any local source.
Students will purchase their books from any source they choose, including on-line.
Course Textbook Adoption
As per the Higher Education Opportunity Act (2008), Section 112, information regarding
required course textbooks and course materials for courses taught at our Study Abroad
locations will be posted on the FSU Textbook Compliance Portal by the IP Textbook
Compliance Coordinator, Mery-et Lescher. Faculty will receive a course textbook form
for submitting this information to Mery-et for each of their classes.
If you have any questions regarding Textbook Compliance, please contact Mery-et
Lescher at: mlescher@fsu.edu
Planning Your Courses
International Programs is a strong proponent of the concept “The World is Your
Campus.” Teaching a course in the same manner as it is taught in Tallahassee is
contrary to the spirit of international study. Class sessions need not meet solely in the
classroom. Courses taught internationally should be enhanced by their location, and we
recommend you take full advantage of all the resources available to you. The finest
museums, theatres, and historical sites are at your disposal, so you will be expected to
get your students out into the streets to explore all your chosen country has to offer.
Course related field trips incorporating academic lectures are classified as classroom
contact time for the duration of the lecture or instruction. Course related field trips
without formal accompanying instruction count as half class time for the period allotted
by the instructor.
You are encouraged to utilize travel time to and from the location for instruction.
Maintaining high academic standards requires constant effort and considerable skill.
Obviously, many distractions from academic work are a part of the students' lives in a
foreign country. The students are in a new and alluring environment. They invariably
want to travel and explore. Travel and exposure to the culture are important to the
students' education, but this must not be at the expense of academic standards. So
you, as faculty, must exercise all of your diplomatic and teaching skills to make your
courses so engaging that the students will want to attend every session! This is not an
easy task, but involved faculty will find a way.
It must be stressed that student access to library facilities, computers and reliable
internet access will be much more limited than on the home campus. You must take
11
this into account when assigning research papers. Focusing outside class assignments
on direct contact with the culture is a wise alternative. It would be a mistake to assign
papers requiring the kind of library research expected on Florida State’s campus.
Whenever possible, assignments should be creative mixtures of traditional materials and
the international environment.
Contact time required per credit hour is 750 minutes
A 3 credit hour class will need a total of
37.5 hours of teaching contact time.
Academic Field trips without
teaching/lecturing count as ½ time. For
example if your field trip lasts 4 hours, only
2 hours will count as teaching contact.
Social/Cultural Events
The university provides social and cultural events that are open to all participants
without additional charge, or at a reduced fee. These events may include concerts,
lectures, special visits, or day-trips to surrounding localities. Program Leaders must
attend all program related social cultural events and we encourage faculty to participate
in program-planned social/cultural events. Families of faculty are invited to participate in
such trips on a prorated cost and space-available basis.
Past faculty agree that participating in such trips was one of the most rewarding aspects
of the program because it allowed them to get to know students on a personal basis and
to share with them a common learning experience. Faculty members who have ideas for
specific lecture(s) or field trips should contact the appropriate Study Center Director well
in advance.
Syllabi
An electronic copy of your final syllabi must be provided to your Resident Study Center
Director or Program Coordinator during the first week of classes. Each syllabus must be
as comprehensive as possible; clearly setting forth fully the requirements for the course.
It is important that you make the standards for the course absolutely clear in this
syllabus at the outset. Objections inevitably arise when new requirements are added in
mid-course. Grade appeals are often determined by the clarity of syllabi. Please see
below for the University’s guidelines for creating your syllabus.
University and Faculty Senate policy requires that a course syllabus be distributed at the
beginning of the semester that includes:
 written course objectives;
 an evaluation (grading) statement that indicates what procedures will be used to
evaluate students and should make it possible to discern the approximate
weight of each grade component;
 an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) statement (sample statement at
http://facsenate.fsu.edu/Curriculum-Forms/Policies or at
http://www.disabilitycenter.fsu.edu/faculty.html);
12
 a statement regarding academic integrity (see the Academic Honor Policy in
Appendix A of the Faculty Handbook or at http://facsenate.fsu.edu/CurriculumForms/Policies); and
 the attendance policy (if applicable).
 It is recommended that instructors include a statement of their policy and/or
expectations regarding classroom conduct and missed work.
 It is also recommended that instructors include a statement regarding the
availability of tutoring on campus. (See sample at
http://facsenate.fsu.edu/Curriculum-Forms/Policies).
Once the course has begun, no changes should be made to the syllabus that will
substantially affect the implementation of the instructor’s grading [evaluation]
statement.
Below is a link to helpful information to use when creating your syllabus.
http://distance.fsu.edu/instructors/preparing-syllabus-university-approvals
There may be other required entries based upon your course’s designation, for example,
Liberal Studies. Please double check with your home department as to any
requirements for your specific course. For further information concerning syllabi
requirements, please contact Chris Carroll at ccarroll@fsu.edu
As a practical matter, when thinking through the assignments, keep in mind the nature
of the overseas study environment. Spread your assigned coursework throughout the
term. Assess your students’ progress periodically. Do not pile on the work at the end of
the semester, and discourage students from postponing assignments. Also, keep in mind
that you may have expenses associated with your course that you may not have at
home. For example, museum entrances, tickets, transportation costs. If you have
expenses associated with your class that are not included in your program fee, you must
indicate the additional expenses as specifically as possible on your syllabus.
Grades
All instructors are required to submit their grades online. Grades are submitted through
the FSU Blackboard system, even if you are not using Blackboard for your class. There
will be roughly a two-week period for grade submission at the end of the term. Your
rosters will not appear on the website until this time. Those dates will be announced at
a later time.
Important: Please take the time to make sure you are able to login to Blackboard at
least one month before the end of the term. For complete instructions on how to
submit your grades please click on the grades link that appears on our website at
http://registrar.fsu.edu/services/staff/grades_faq.htm
For grade changes, Incompletes, No Grades or any necessary changes to grades even
after the term’s grades have posted, please go to:
13
http://sc.my.fsu.edu/Faculty/How-To/Request-a-Grade-Change
Attendance
Rosters are available through Blackboard, or from Study Center staff. You are
required to take attendance the first week of classes and report any
discrepancies to the Study Center Director or your Program Coordinator, and
again after drop/add. If you fail to do this, your department will be fined for EACH
discrepancy on the roster. In addition, we encourage you to take regular class
attendance. Develop an attendance policy and include it in your syllabus.
Academic Calendar
Your overseas study location academic calendar may not correspond with the
Tallahassee campus calendar. At the Study Centers, we strive to allow for students’
personal travel. Once the Resident Directors have finalized the proposed
schedule of events for the semester, a copy of the calendar will be sent to all
faculty.
NOTE: Mid-term breaks do not apply to six-week or shorter summer programs.
Course Evaluation
Each student will be asked to complete evaluations of the program and the courses that
they completed. Program evaluations will be provided to the students by the
International Programs staff, while course evaluations (SPOT) will be provided to the
students electronically by the Office of Assessment Services at FSU. These evaluations
will help us prepare a report on the program and hear the opinion of the students in
regards to their overall experience.
Study Center Academic Facilities (i.e., AV equipment, library, lab)
For information on available academic facilities in your location please Gisela Fisher at
gfisher@fsu.edu or your Program Coordinator.
CRIME & SAFETY________________________________________________
 Safety and security abroad. Crime in general is more common on our home
campuses and in the U.S. than it is abroad. This may vary depending on the
country, so we ask that you be aware of your surroundings and travel safely.
 Pickpocketing. As in most large cities throughout the world, pickpocketing is
the most common crime and can happen anytime, anywhere. Our office cautions
you to always be aware of your surroundings. The U.S. State Department
maintains a website of information for Americans living abroad, including current
travel advisory warnings, at www.state.gov/
14
 Where to report crimes. Notice is to be given to your Study Center staff,
Tallahassee main office and to the police as soon as possible.
 U.S. Embassy Information. Be sure to make yourself familiar with the closest
location of the U.S. Embassy in your country. Current addresses for the U.S.
Embassy in specific locations can be found at http://www.usembassy.gov/
 For more information go to our website http://international.fsu.edu/
and click on the Safety and Security Tab.
Safety Tips/Suggestions
 You are subject to the laws of your host country. These laws are often much
more severe than U.S laws.
 While traveling, use money belts or neck pouches that are worn under your
clothes.
 Some programs have an office safe in which you can keep valuable papers
(passports, travelers checks, airline tickets), but remember the safe is open
only during certain hours. Check with your Study Center Staff to see if a safe is
available for your use. If not, keep your valuable papers in a secure place.
 Always carry a photocopy of the picture and facing page of your passport. Keep
another copy in your room separate from your passport. Be sure to email a
digital copy of your passport to Jennifer Fisher, jafisher@fsu.edu
 Protection against street robbery includes carrying purses with straps worn
across the chest with the clasp turned toward the body and away from the
street. Keep your purse between your arm and your body. Cameras should be
treated the same way. Billfolds are most secure in a front trouser pocket.
When seated in a restaurant or theater, never leave your bag or camera on
the floor next to you. It may not be there when you are ready to leave!
 While traveling in some areas, be aware of beggars who try to distract you with
papers, boxes, or excessive body movements. While this is happening, an
accomplice, often a child, does the stealing. In general, thieves love confusion
and work near places and on the transportation that tourists usually frequent.
Shouting and screaming are often good counteractions to street theft. Coats
and purses are often stolen in crowded areas. Keep them close to you.
 Secure your money, passport, and other valuables if you are traveling on an
overnight couchette.
 For Study Center Faculty, in case of a personal emergency, contact your Study
Center Director for assistance. In case of a program emergency, follow your
Study Center contingency plan and contact your Study Center Director.
15
 For Non-Study Center Faculty, in case of a personal emergency contact the
International Programs Office for assistance. In case of a program emergency,
follow your program plan and contact the International Programs Office.
