I have an undergraduate informations systems student that is interested in study abroad opportunities at SAP UA institutions outside the U.S.
Does anyone plan to offer SAP courses during the May-August time frame that this student might be interested in?

Hello, Thomas. I hope that as the days go on and more and more of our members form different countries register and join the dialogue in this brand new community, they can help you generate some leads, or even offer up a specific spot at their institution.
I can tell you that in many countries, you will find it rare to have summer term opportunities for study. This is a big limiting factor for this request. But over 80% of our member schools are outside of the USA, so this still leaves some room for a 'hit'.
Your student should start with the International Office at your university to find out which international universities have already contracted with your university and offer programs in the summer for his general area of study (business, CS/IT, etc.). You can then contact your UA representative in the USA for a simple cross-reference check against our worldwide member list. Maybe we will have some luck in matching the connection.
This would have the additional advantage to pave the way for support from your International Office on the many critical issues that come up with international study - visa, transportation, tuition waiver if exchange, tuition payment if no exchange, living arrangements and costs, student expectations and privileges, etc. Most important, your student would want to know that successful grades can be transferred back for credit.
