The Education Abroad Exchange
Coordinator maintains exchange agreements with a wide range of international
universities. These agreements allow UMD students to study abroad at some of
the world’s leading institutions of higher education while paying UMD tuition
and contribute to the globalization of the College Park Campus by bringing
international students to UMD. The Exchange Coordinator works directly with
each exchange partner to make arrangements for international students to come
to UMD for a semester or academic year by providing clear and up-to-date
information on UMD admission requirements, UMD housing and course offerings,
visa requirements, and application processes.
He/she reviews exchange student
applications and collaborates with UMD academic departments to help visiting
students gain access to appropriate classes. The Exchange Coordinator arranges
an orientation for arriving students and provides ongoing logistical support
throughout their time in College Park. The Exchange Coordinator works
extensively with EA study abroad advisors to ensure UMD students receive
comprehensive and current information about overseas exchange opportunities.
The Exchange Coordinator plays a key role in the maintenance of all exchange
agreements by tracking agreements and noting their expiration dates,
renegotiating exchange agreements, corresponding with exchange partners, and
preparing agreements to be submitted for signature by the Associate Vice
President for International Affairs and the University Provost.
