Introduction:

CWU has many exchange agreements with international partner institutions. Exchange is only possible if your institution has a pre-existing agreement with CWU. Please check with your institution's international office. Your institution must contact the Executive Director of the Office of International Studies & Programs to discuss the possibility of exchange at least 3 months prior your desired arrival at CWU. Faculty exchange requires proof of U.S. Health Insurance and sufficient funding to meet U.S. government regulations.

If your exchange is approved by your institution and CWU, you may start the process by filling out the Application for International Professors and Scholars and fax it to (509) 963-1558.
