University-wide agreements

①???? Exchange with a university or research institute abroad with which active exchange projects have been carried out in the past and further exchange projects can be expected in the future.??
②???? Other cases in which a university-wide agreement is recognized as beneficial to our university.?

Inter-faculty agreements

(1)???? Inter-faculty agreements are agreements signed by the Dean of an OCU Faculty or Graduate School and the Head of a university, research institute or one of its departments abroad.

(2)???? Inter-faculty agreements can be concluded when the departments involved see a necessity to conclude an agreement for exchange in the following cases:

①???? When exchange takes place with only one Faculty, Graduate School or department.
②???? When exchange takes place with multiple Faculties, Graduate Schools or departments, but a university-wide agreement is not deemed necessary.
