Required Orientation and Online Sessions for Program Directors

Faculty director orientations

  • Program Directors must attend an in-person Education Abroad Faculty Director Orientation each year they direct a program. Dates and times will be determined throughout the academic year and communicated to faculty as dates are made available.
  • If Program Directors are approved for a SET (Single Event Travel) Card, they must also attend an in-person SET Training which Education Abroad will coordinate with Procurement Services.

My Learning Connection requirements

  • Program Directors must complete the 30 minute online video presentation with Ryan DeBoef, Chief of Staff, regarding legal issues related to Education Abroad programs.
  • Program Directors must complete the Campus Security Authority (CSA) training. This is an online training required by MSU because of two Federal Government policies: the Clery Act and Title IX.
