Submit A Partnership Proposal

Ready to propose a new international partnership? Complete the SVSU Global Partnership Proposal Form to begin the internal review process. All submissions are reviewed by the Office of International Programs in coordination with the relevant academic college, the Provost's Office, the Registrar, and Legal Affairs as appropriate.
