The Essentials
International partnerships & MOUs
When approached by a foreign university or other foreign entity to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) or other agreement, your primary points of contact are your Department Chair, your Dean, and the Office of the Vice Provost for Global Engagement.
Even if they do not involve any financial or other resource commitments, these international agreements can raise a number of complex issues not ordinarily present in domestic arrangements.
Check with this list (on the Office of Global Education website) and with the Office of the Vice Provost for Global Engagement to see whether Boston College already has an agreement with that institution. The Office of the Vice Provost for Global Engagement may have an appropriate University template agreement, and will advise on signing authority, any accreditation or reporting issues, and whether a review of the Office of the General Counsel is required.
In addition, prior to entering into such agreements, international parties need to be screened in accordance with the University’s export controls procedures.
When the agreement is signed, please submit the original document to the Office of the Vice Provost for Global Engagement.
