1 Substantive Edit In the first edit of a document, the substantive edit, the editor checks the organization and structure of information. During this phase, I moved two sections in the beginning of the document to recruitment because I felt they covered information for that section. I moved the table of study away opportunities to the appendix because it was hanging out in the middle of the document with no referencing. I also moved the entire Short-Term Faculty-Led Programs section after recruitment because the information over events would be more pertinent to the readers of the document and was better closer to the beginning of the document. Finally, I inserted a couple of new headings to clarify the information structure and make things easier to access for readers.
2 Short Term Faculty Led Programs Short-Term Faculty Led Programs are Missouri State University's most popular study abroad options. Students enroll in a Missouri State University course and go with a faculty director anywhere from one to six weeks. These short-term options are appealing because they do not interfere with fall and spring semester classes, they are budget-friendly, and shorter in length. Short-term faculty led programs are great options for students on a budget, who have other commitments during the semester, or are seeking specific MSU courses. Study Away Programs offers dozens of exciting opportunities every year, so go see the world with a faculty expert in your field! Definition A short-term program is a study away program that: o Is shorter than a full semester (typically range from 1-6 weeks) o Is designed, coordinated, and taught by a Missouri State faculty member o Offers students the opportunity to earn academic credit in a specific department (though most courses are offered to all majors) o Has an international or domestic travel component o Student pays MSU in-state tuition for courses Mission and Standards Study away programs that are sponsored or approved by Missouri State University directly support the University s mission of developing educated persons who are contributing citizens in an increasingly global society. All short-term faculty-led Study Away Programs should ensure the following 1. A Quality Learning Experience. MSU is committed to offering quality study away opportunities and increasing the number of students who can study away each year. The Study Away office and the Faculty Leader should support each individual student in broadening his or her perspective through travel learning. 2. Academic Integrity and Cultural Integration. The study Away office oversees and approves academically and culturally enriching short-term programs ranging from one to six weeks in length. The course syllabus should include academic content relating to the host country s culture, economy, environment and history. Programs should include pre-travel orientation, as well as discussion and reflection components after the trip. 3. Safety and Security of Participants. Utilizing the safety checklist developed by the Study Away office, the Faculty Leader is responsible for identifying potential safety and security issues and communicating known risks to program participants. Emergency preparedness protocols must be communicate and followed for all programs. 16
3 4. Good Stewardship of Student Funds. Short-term study away programs are intended to be financially neutral, with each participant bearing equal costs. Faculty Leaders should exercise sound financial stewardship of funds and ensure full transparency in reporting costs and disclosing any complementary goods or services from travel agents or vendors. The Study Away office should be appraised of any potential conflict of interest between a Faculty Leader and a vendor. Recruitment Faculty leaders take on the main responsibility of recruiting students for their programs. This may be through word of mouth promotion, informational meetings, department-wide s, etc. The Study Away office provides an official program flyer approved by the Faculty Director to be used for marketing purposes. To assist faculty, the Study Away office hosts faculty recruitment events.. These events include the Study Away Fair (fall), STFL Fair (spring tentative), and Faculty Luncheon (Fall). The Study Away Fair features current faculty-leaders who may not only promote their programs to students, but also help interested faculty learn more about shortterm programs. The Faculty Luncheon features an informational presentation, panel discussion, and Q&A session. The Director also works one-on-one with faculty leaders in preparing for trips. Faculty Leaders must propose and plan their own trips, but the office provides as much assistance as reasonably possible. Faculty Responsibilities In order to receive approval to run a Short-Term Faculty Led Program, faculty members must complete the following: Before Program o Meet with Accounting Specialist and Director to discuss potential Study Away Program o Submit a draft proposal to Study Away for review o Submit a final proposal with approval from Study Away, Dean, & Department Head o Review packet with instructions/application packets, deadlines, etc. o Work with Accounting Specialist and Graphic Designer to create program flyer o Recruit students o Collect all student applications and submit materials to Study Away office o Book program arrangements (airfare, hotel, trips, etc.) o Send behavioral contract and health form to students o Attend pre-departure meeting with legal counsel and Director o Sign Travel Authorization Form & Cash Advance o Attend Program 17

13 Technical Edit During a technical edit, the editor looks for problems with technical information, such as citations, math, or scientific notations. Technical editing can also involve editing data tables to make them readable and consistent. Because there were none of these things in Standard Office Procedures, I was able to omit this edit.
14 Language Edit During this part of the editing process, I read through the document and looked for errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. This was the most detailed of the edits. The mechanics did not need a lot of work, but I standardized the use of some words, such as , Study Away Office, and cancelled in order to make the style and voice of the document similar throughout. I also inserted captions for photos and introductory text under headings that was missing.

26 Format Edit During the format edit, I implemented a heading structure and a new appearance for the document. I changed the fonts of the body text and headings. The biggest challenge in this edit was formatting all of the bulleted lists and instructions. I switched many unordered lists to ordered lists and vice versa. I eliminated unnecessary bulleted structures as well. Finally, I took the information from the table of study away programs and made it into four separate tables over each type of program, making information more comprehensive and accessible to readers.
27 Short-Term Faculty-Led Programs Short-term faculty-led (STFL) programs are Missouri State University's most popular study abroad options. Students enroll in a Missouri State University course and go with a faculty director anywhere from one to six weeks. These short-term options are appealing because they do not interfere with fall and spring semester classes, are budget-friendly, and shorter in length. Short-term faculty-led programs are great options for students on a budget, who have other commitments during the semester, or are seeking specific MSU courses. Study Away Programs offers dozens of exciting opportunities every year, so students can go see the world with a faculty expert in their field. Definition A short-term program is a study away program that: Is shorter than a full semester (typically range from one to six weeks) Is designed, coordinated, and taught by a Missouri State faculty member Offers students the opportunity to earn academic credit in a specific department (though most courses are offered to all majors) Has an international or domestic travel component Costs MSU in-state tuition for courses Mission and Standards Study away programs that are sponsored or approved by Missouri State University directly support the University s mission of developing educated persons who are contributing citizens in an increasingly global society. All short-term faculty-led programs should ensure the following: A quality learning experience. MSU is committed to offering quality study away opportunities and increasing the number of students who can study away each year. The Study Away Office and the faculty leader should support each individual student in broadening his or her perspective through travel learning. Academic integrity and cultural integration. The Study Away Office oversees and approves academically and culturally enriching short-term programs. The course syllabus should include academic content relating to the host country s culture, economy, environment, and history. Programs should include pre-travel orientation, as well as discussion and reflection components after the trip. Safety and security of participants. Utilizing the safety checklist developed by the Study Away Office, the faculty leader is responsible for identifying potential safety and security issues and communicating known risks to program participants. Emergency preparedness protocols must be communicate and followed for all programs. Good stewardship of student funds. Short-term study away programs are intended to be financially neutral, with each participant bearing equal costs. Faculty eaders should exercise sound financial stewardship of funds and ensure full transparency in reporting costs and disclosing any complementary goods or services from travel agents or vendors. The Study Away Office should be appraised of any potential conflict of interest between a faculty leader and a vendor. 16
28 Recruitment Faculty leaders take on the main responsibility of recruiting students for their programs. This may be through word of mouth promotion, informational meetings, and department-wide s. The Study Away Office provides an official program flyer approved by the Faculty Director to be used for marketing purposes. To assist faculty, the Study Away office hosts faculty recruitment events. These events include the Study Away Fair (fall), STFL Fair (spring tentative), and Faculty Form and Luncheon (fall). The Study Away Fair features current faculty leaders who may not only promote their programs to students, but also help interested faculty learn more about short-term programs. The Faculty Forum and Luncheon features an informational presentation, panel discussion, and Q&A session. The director also works one-on-one with faculty leaders in preparing for trips. Faculty leaders must propose and plan their own trips, but the office provides as much assistance as reasonably possible. Faculty Responsibilities In order to receive approval to run a short-term faculty-led program, faculty members must complete the following: Before the program Meet with Accounting Specialist and Director to discuss potential Study Away Program. Submit a draft proposal to Study Away for review. Submit a final proposal with approval from Study Away, Dean, and Department Head. Review packet with instructions/application packets anddeadlines. Work with Accounting Specialist and Graphic Designer to create a program flyer. Recruit students. Collect all student applications and submit materials to the Study Away Office. Book program arrangements (airfare, hotel, or trips). Send behavioral contract and health form to students. Attend pre-departure meeting with legal counsel and Director. Sign travel authorization form and cash advance. Attend program. After the program Submit travel expense report and return any unused funds to the Bursar s within two weeks. Shred all health forms. Submit final report to Director one month after returning. For specific breakdown of responsibilities, see the fflow chart for STFL located in <Z:\Office\Terra Dotta> Domestic Programs The vast majority of short-term programs are focused on international destinations, but the Study Away Office also facilitates faculty-led domestic programs. The proposal for these programs can be found on the Faculty Information page of the Study Away Office s web site. Students who attend these domestic programs do not need to submit passport copies or buy HTH Health Insurance. 17
29 Applications and Deposits Applications can be picked up from the program director or on the Study Away website under forms. Students will either turn their applications in to the faculty leader or directly to the Study Away office. Check applications to ensure that they have been signed by the program director. Ensure that the entire application is filled out and no information or signature is missing. Most commonly missed sections: Signature by program director (page 2) Waiver (2 pages which are a signature page and emergency contact and privacy waiver page) Graduate Assistants will enter the information into the STFL [YEAR] database under the specific program. Go to the short-term folder in the SAP, select the respective year folder, open the shortterm student database and enter the student information in the correct program list. Add to short-term financial checklist for the respective program. Initial the top of the application once added to STFL database and STFL financial checklist. Putapplications on Accounting Specialist s desk so it s known what applications have come in and billing can proceed for those students and their initial deposit. Send s to students regarding any missing materials. The day of the program deadline, send an to the program director informing him or her whose applications are turned in and what paperwork is needed from the students. In addition, send the health form to faculty for participants to turn in to the program director. The program director will provide a copy to Study Away once they re all collected. Billing, Withdrawals, and Refunds Students will be billed for their program deposit by the accounting specialist at a specific time as indicated on the application. The accounting specialist will document all billings in the short-term financial checklist for each program. Students can pay their bill via the Bursar s office or through their My MissouriState portal. Any cancellations should be brought to the attention of the program director, accounting specialist and the Study Away director. Deposits are non-refundable for short-term programs unless medical or personal reasons are presented with a note (discretion given by the accounting specialist and program director). Students who withdraw from a STFL program will only be able to receive a refund if the program director can replace the student with another student. If any group fees have been paid in advance on behalf of the student (airfare, hotels, ground transport, or meals), the Study Away Office is unable to refund this money to a withdrawing student. Health Insurance for STFL Programs HTH Health Insurancewill be purchased for all members attending a STFL program. A graduate assistant will compile the lists according to HTH guidelines. Rosters should not be uploaded more than two weeks from the departure date. An will be sent to all STFL program participants informing them that their insurance has been ordered and they should be looking for the log-in where they can access and print 18
30 their cards. Once the roster process is complete, a digital copy of all cards for the specific program should be downloaded and sent to the program director for his or her records. Money Issues Budget Faculty compensation Cash advances Expense reports Reconciliations STFL & Non-STFL Program Debt Collection With the increase in students studying abroad, Study Away Programs has established protocol for bad debts. In collaboration with Financial Services, Study Away will take a proactive measure on these accounts to try to prevent bad debt from occurring. If students are able to show proof of funds (scholarships or other financial aid), they will not fall under this category. Preventative Steps: Study Away will each participant every time a bill is posted to their student account (approximately three times prior to departure). Four weeks prior to departure, the accounting specialist will run an outstanding balance list. If a participant still has a program balance due, the accounting specialist will the student to notify them with a warning that full payment of program fees must be received prior to departure. Students with outstanding program fees will be notified one month prior to departure that they will be dropped from the program and their plane ticket will be cancelled. In addition, they will still be responsible for any costs incurred on their behalf. Five business days prior to payment deadline, the accounting specialist will run an outstanding balance list and contact the students. One business day prior to payment deadline, the accounting specialist will send a final notice. One business day after the final payment deadline, the student will be dropped from the class and their airfare cancelled. Bad Debts In-House Collection: Once a month, the Study Away accounting specialist will run a bad debts report and the administrative assistant (PSU) will generate the appropriate letters and invoices. The accounting specialist will run weekly reports and provide the administrative assistant with the report to see if any progress has been made. General Responsibilities: Accounting Specialist is responsible for: Printing outstanding debt list, both current and past due ing STFL participants prior to departure Checking invoices before mailing Administrative Assistant (PSU) is responsible for: Ensuring student payments are applied to Study Away Programs charges Printing outstanding debt list, both current and past due 19
