Important Information
During the comment process you are connected to a database. Like internet banking, the session that connects you to the database may time-out due to inactivity. If you do not have JavaScript running you will recieve a message to advise you of the length of time before the time-out. If you have JavaScript enabled, the time-out is lengthy and should not cause difficulty, however you should note the following tips to avoid losing your comments or corrupting your entries:
-
DO NOT jump between web pages/applications while logging comments.
-
DO NOT log comments for more than one document at a time. Complete and submit all comments for one document before commenting on another.
-
DO NOT leave your submission half way through. If you need to take a break, submit your current set of comments. The system will email you a copy of your comments so you can identify where you were up to and add to them later.
-
DO NOT exit from the interface until you have completed all three stages of the submission process.

(2) For the purpose of this policy: (3) International Partnerships must be developed in accordance with the University's Mission and strategic goals. (4) The number of International Partnerships will be linked to strategic objectives and priority will be given to partnerships that promote and enhance the University's presence in selected countries, grow the University's reputation worldwide and foster long-term and deep relationships. (5) The nature of International Partnerships will vary in response to the University's objectives and those of particular partner institutions. (6) A diversity of International Partnerships will be encouraged with quantifiable aims determined.

(9) A separate student exchange agreement (Supplemental Letter of Agreement, Exchange) will be supplemental to the Memorandum of Academic Co-operation, where student exchange activity emerges as a consequence of that Agreement. (10) Other specific collaborative projects will also be detailed in separate Supplemental Letter of Agreements to the Memorandum of Academic Co-operation, as projects arise. (11) All agreements are subject to a strategic assessment to determine partner suitability and strategic fit and will not be signed by the University until all resource implications are identified, and appropriate resource allocation agreed. (12) The Memorandum of Academic Co-operation and/or Supplemental Letter of Agreement pro-formas adopted for the purpose of formalising the partnership can be supplied by either partner, but must be acceptable to both partners. (13) It is preferred that all agreements will be institution-to-institution and that any collaborative/ cooperative agreement between sub-academic units within either or both institutions (eg. School-to-School), will be supplemental to the general Memorandum of Academic Co-operation. (14) Western Sydney International will coordinate the establishment of all International Partnerships for Academic Co-operation Memoranda and Supplemental Agreements. (15) The Vice-Chancellor and President (or nominee) of the University will be the official signatory to all Memoranda of Academic Co-operation and Supplemental Agreements. (16) All Memoranda and Agreements should have a review/revision clause, and procedures for termination. (17) All Memoranda and Agreements must be signed in hard copy. The original will be filed in the official Records and Archives Management Services Unit and an electronic copy stored by Western Sydney International in the University CRM System. (18) Determine whether the proposal is specifically for non-commercial or commercial outcomes (you may wish to refer to the terminology/definitions listed in Section 2).
