Why is your institution not seeking exchange partners at this time? (US respondents only)
![Page 13: Understanding Reciprocal Exchanges Across Nations and Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547a797a5906b53d358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Changes in the revenue generation model in the UK
• Tuition fees were introduced in the UK in 1998: up to £1,000/year • Tuition fees increased since then from £3,000/year to £9,000/year
• Different rules for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales • Reduced tuition fees possible for those who study/work abroad as part
of their degree program, depending on the university

![Page 16: Understanding Reciprocal Exchanges Across Nations and Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547a797a5906b53d358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Who manages exchanges?
• Departments - greater ‘ownership’ of exchange vs. resources
• Main international office - mandate as ‘gatekeeper’ role
• Conflicts from interpretations of maintaining the exchange balance vs. value of the exchange partnership to the department
![Page 17: Understanding Reciprocal Exchanges Across Nations and Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547a797a5906b53d358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Negotiating terms of student exchange agreement
• Many universities have a student exchange agreement template
• The main international/education abroad office plays an integral role
![Page 18: Understanding Reciprocal Exchanges Across Nations and Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547a797a5906b53d358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Partnership
• Concept of partnership is key• Synergy between academics,
department, and institution • Relationship is not only between
academics, but administrators• Exchanges based solely on
personal relationships or to ‘look good on the books’ are less likely to be successful
![Page 19: Understanding Reciprocal Exchanges Across Nations and Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547a797a5906b53d358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Managing the balance
• Integral (or ‘not-so-integral’) part of any exchange agreement
• What happens if balance is not maintained?
• Problems with counting
![Page 20: Understanding Reciprocal Exchanges Across Nations and Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547a797a5906b53d358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Managing an exchange vs. other program models
Common education abroad duties • Outreach and marketing• Student advising• Program management• Financial management such as
budget, billing, accounting, and enrollment management
• Risk and crisis management• Program evaluation• Pre-departure orientation
Exchange – incoming and outgoing • Student application process: requirements for participation• Negotiating exchange placements• Managing the balance• Advertising for incoming students• Welcome orientation for incoming students• Advocating for incoming students on-campus• Transcript evaluation for both incoming and outgoing• Be familiar with international student regulations that impact
student exchange

Some recommendations for exchange administration
![Page 23: Understanding Reciprocal Exchanges Across Nations and Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547a797a5906b53d358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Proposal for future leadership in this arena
• Exchange SIG with NAFSA• Additional Opportunities to discuss exchange at Regional NAFSA,
NACADA, other professional organizations• Exchange for professionals, faculty – getting to know partners• Participation in Fulbright and other learning opportunities abroad• Organize, advocate, document successes
