Some faculty members teach courses abroad as part of their basic teaching load for their department. Those faculty members are not paid extra funds (in excess of their base salary) to lead study abroad courses. 

If faculty members teach courses abroad in addition to their normal load, they may request a Service in Excess (SIE) from LAS International Programs, pending budget availability. For the 2027-2028 academic year, one SIE of $7,500 can be awarded per course. A program leader can only be awarded one SIE per academic year.
