Final grades and course equivalencies
At the program’s conclusion, resident directors are responsible for submitting their final grades through the faculty center at buckeyelink.osu.edu.
Surveys: student and resident director
Evaluation is a critical aspect of education abroad program development and management. Within two weeks after your education abroad program concludes, the Office of International Affairs will send an online survey to each student on your program. Students will have the opportunity to respond anonymously to a variety of questions about all aspects of the education abroad program including International Affairs services, resident director services, host institution services, structure and format of the program and field trips.
International Affairs will collect and collate the results of the student surveys and send summaries to you, your college’s education abroad liaison and the head of your unit.
Please be advised that resident directors are expected to follow all university policies and guidelines while engaged in the education abroad program. Allegations of misconduct will be forwarded to the appropriate university office(s) for investigation and follow up.
Your education abroad coordinator will also schedule a debrief meeting with you to obtain your feedback. You are also welcome to provide additional feedback in writing.
Questions about the International Affairs education abroad survey process may be directed to Jeannie Simmons, associate director of education abroad, simmons.272@osu.edu.

Post travel health issues
According to the Center for Disease Control, 15 to 70 percent of travelers returning to the United States have illnesses related to their travels. Some illnesses start while traveling, but others can take months or years to appear. It is important for a resident director to share their travel history with their healthcare provider, especially if they develop an illness with fever within six months of their return. If a resident director experienced illness during their program or upon return, they should contact Ohio State Raridin Family Practice Center at +1-614-293-2700.
It is important to finish antimalarial pills and get a follow up TB test if advised at a pre-travel visit. A resident director should consider completing any vaccine series not completed prior to travel so they will be ready for their next program.
Group reunion
Resident directors are encouraged to schedule a reunion get-together with their students. International Affairs can provide space in the Enarson Classroom Building. Reunions are a great time for students to share memories and photos as well as their reflections on re-entry.
