Traveling Scholar Program Procedures 1. The purpose of the CIC Traveling Scholar program is to enable Ph.D. candidates at CIC universities t o take advantage of special educational opportunities on other CIC campuses. Any regularly admitted graduate student in good standing in a doctoral degree program at a CIC university is eligible to apply.
Visits are limited to two semesters or three quarters on another campus.
Potential applicants should discuss their interests with their advisers, who will determine whether a proposed Traveling Scholar experience is likely to enhance the student's education and ascertain that a comparable opportunity is not, in fact, available on the student's home campus. In addition, the adviser contacts the host university CIC Traveling Scholar Liaison to confirm that the proposed courses are available to CIC Traveling Scholars. If there is agreement that the student is qualified to take advantage of the visit and that space and facilities are available for the student in the host program, the student and adviser initiate and sign a formal application to the CIC Traveling Scholar Program. The department chairperson signs the application, certifying that the student is in good standing in a doctoral degree program, and forwards it to the CIC Traveling Scholar Liaison in the home university. The Liaison signs the application if he or she approves it and forwards it to the CIC Traveling Scholar Liaison at the host university.
