How to Establish a New Affiliation or Exchange
Note: International Education is the central repository for exchange agreements and international memoranda of understanding. This hasn't always been the case in the past. If you know of any arrangements that are not included on these lists, please inform our office and we will update our information (oie@colorado.edu; phone: 303-492-7741).

Affiliations via education abroad programs
Education abroad affiliations: CU Boulder also has a number of overseas affiliations through its non-exchange education abroad programs. These are universities that CU Boulder students may attend on an education abroad program but with which we do not have formal exchange agreements. A full list of official CU Boulder education abroad programs, including those not based at a foreign institution, can be found on the Education Abroad programs search.
