Understandings
The PI(s) and Collaborators must specify the following in the letter:
1. that they understand that a formal agreement must be completed prior to receiving ILTI funding should
the proposal receive a high priority for such funding. Required parties to the agreement include the PI/s
and all named collaborators, the department, the dean, and the executive vice chancellor/provost. Any
intellectual property agreements that may be useful in meeting the agreement are the prerogative and
responsibility of the campus. If the signed formal agreement cannot be fulfilled by the campus, it is likely
ILTI will request that a pro-rated portion of the ILTI investment in the online course will be returned to
ILTI for re-investment elsewhere.
5. The agreement will specify the following additional elements:
A. The course will be open to cross-campus enrollment or used at multiple campuses at least 5 times
over 3 academic years. Each of these offerings will be available without additional fees to UC
undergraduates from other campuses following a pre-established schedule (incremental costs at host
campus are likely to be supported by ILTI).
B. No additional fees will be charged to students enrolling from other campuses.
All PI(s) and Collaborators must sign this letter and provide the follow information: professional
title, department affiliation, and date of signature.
