Needs and Uses: Foreign delegation visits help to conduct analysis for regional and DoD academic accreditations, create reports for University leadership to aid in the development of effective curricula, and facilitate academic completion requirements. The foreign visit request form is primarily used to collect information on visiting delegations for protocol purposes and to ensure proper logistic support for the visiting delegation. The respondents in our collection are generally Foreign Nationals visiting the NDU to meet with NDU leadership. The collection instrument is a PDF document sent over email. Respondents access the PDF directly and return via email. Once the document is returned, the information is used to create a customized visit for the delegation and informs a read ahead document for NDU leadership. Information and electronic records are maintained in the NDU Enterprise Information System (NEIS), the NDU network. The NDU NEIS encompasses all hardware and software utilized to support the academic and business information hosted in university-owned systems.

Affected Public: Individuals or households.

Frequency: On occasion.
