SJS4 New Learning Site

All partner proposals are initiated by a New Partner Proposal in sjs4.sjsu.edu. Subsequently, the online University Organization Agreement will be initiated with the site by the SJS4 team. To start a relationship, please follow the steps below.

  1. Check the sjs4.sjsu.edu/sites website to see if the site you want to propose already exists. Please check by site name and address before initiating a new partner proposal.
  2. If the site isn’t listed, faculty or students can submit the request for a new site.
  3. SJS4 notifies the site to complete the New Partner Proposal Form and the University Organization Agreement (now a fully online contract).

    If the Agency has or requires modifications to the UOA, the SJS4 staff will be notified the UOA was not signed and they will notify the department to follow the non-modified UOA process (outlined below and on flowchart [pdf]).

  4. Once the UOA has been signed online, the SJS4 staff will have the appropriate designee sign off on the UOA for SJSU.
  5. Once signed off, the SJS4 team will make the site active, archive the UOA in SJS4.
