International Agreements
Cornell has for most of its history had a long list of international agreements with institutions across the globe. The University recognizes the value these exchanges have in strengthening the teaching, research, and extension capabilities of the institutions involved, broadening the international experience of the participants, and fostering goodwill between Cornell and the international community. Cornell enters into agreements with institutions throughout the world on the initiative of faculty members and academic administrators alike.
Exchange agreements can take many forms and often involve the sharing of faculty and students or responsibility and resources for research projects. While many agreements are reciprocal, the concept of "international agreement" is much broader. It may include "one-way" agreements that specify rights and privileges for a partner institution, or “two-way” agreements that provide mutual benefits.
The Office of the Vice Provost for International Relations maintains the official records of all of Cornell’s international exchange agreements. All agreements should follow the Guide for Preparing International Agreements and include the Internal Approval Form. Both documents are available to download below.

Guide for Preparing International Agreements
(PDF)
Cornell has developed this guide along with an Internal Approval Form to encourage those proposing agreements to consult with appropriate groups on campus. This guide applies only to an international agreement that is typically called an MOU or “Memorandum of Understanding” between Cornell and an institution of higher learning outside the United States. Signed awards (grant, contract, or cooperative agreement), under which the University agrees to perform a certain scope of work according to specific terms and conditions for a specific budgeted financial compensation, fall under the jurisdiction of Sponsored Programs and Services (formerly the Office of Sponsored Programs or OSP).
International Agreement Internal Approval Form
(PDF)
Please attach a copy of the full text of the agreement to this form and send it to the Office of the Vice Provost for International Relations, 115 Day Hall. The final approved agreement will be sent to the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies and will be entered into the Center's database of approved international agreements of the University.
