Visiting and Exchange Programs

International Maritime University Exchanges - Faculty/Staff

Cal Maritime has entered into exchange agreements with a number of Maritime Universities across the world (current list).  Because the agreements for exchange differ dramatically from institution to institution, it is imperative that individuals begin the process far in advance of the application deadlines.  What follows is a list of materials, divided into four sections, that must be compiled and used as an application form to be filed with the Visiting & Exchange Program coordinator.  This application form will take the shape of a folder, which should have the following information:

Checklist

I.  Administration

___ Department Chair Recommendation and Planning Form
___ Written Statement of Purpose
___ Foreign Language Competency Form
___ Letter of Acceptance from Host University

II.  Finance

___ Evidence of overseas housing documentation (photocopy or email)

III.  Health

Records from Health Services including:
___ Statement from Physician
___ Emergency Treatment Form
___ Appropriate Immunization

IV. Travel Documents

___ Copy of Passport
___ Visa (if necessary)
