Program Assistant Instructions

Congratulations on being invited to participate as a Program Assistant for a UD Study Abroad program! Before we can move forward, you must complete the following steps:

1. Register with CGPS.

After you have been approved as a program assistant, CGPS will send you the link to the program assistant application.

Unless you are an assistant on a domestic (U.S.-based) program, you will need a passport.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the end of your travel study program. If your passport will expire, renew it now. If you do not have a passport, apply for one now.

2. Attend Meetings.

Participate in all mandatory orientation meetings for your program.
Go to mandatory health meetings if required for your program. Student Health Services will hold two sessions at the Student Health Center and you must attend one. Dates and times will be posted to your program’s web page. Prior to your meeting, you will receive an email from Student Health Services (SHS) with instructions to complete a health-related form. You must complete the form and attend the meeting to be eligible to get vaccinations at SHS. If you have a class conflict, SHS can provide a release note. There will not be make-up SHS meetings.

If you can no longer serve as a program assistant, notify your faculty director and CGPS immediately. If your plane ticket has already been purchased or other program funds have been spent on your behalf, you may be responsible for refunding the full cost to CGPS. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
