The General Agreement establishes a substantial framework for exploring collaboration when it seems clear that there may be multiple possibilities for collaboration
- Agreement for Reciprocal Student Exchanges (RSE) – This agreement provides for the equal exchange of students between BC and an institution abroad.

- Agreement for Research, Technical, or Scientific Cooperation – This document structures the commitments, roles and responsibilities, as well as procedures to implement an exchange of faculty, staff, and administrators between BC and an overseas institution. The financial and logistical implications of the exchange must be discussed and agreed before the final agreement is submitted for signature.

Each institution is primarily responsible for its own degree; however, an articulation of courses as well as the procedures to ensure program quality and coordination is required. This agreement allows for the transfer of credit according to existing policies.
