学生在国外学习吗?? Are 教师 planning future programs?
是的，它们是! 学生s are able to study abroad anywhere that is listed at a State Department Advisory Level 1 or Level 2. If the destination country is a Level 3, they may 旅行请愿书. 学生s, 教师, and staff at 事业单位 are not permitted to travel to countries at a Level 4. 教师 wanting to run programs to a location that is a Level 3 will have a petition submitted on their behalf by the 国外的教育 Department.
We are constantly monitoring the situation and have various contingency plans should there be restrictions on future travel.
Will students, 教师, and staff be required to get a vaccine to study abroad?
截至5月11日, 2023 COVID vaccinations are no longer required for travel and entry into the United States. While vaccination is not required, we recommend all travelers take precautions to protect your health and the health of others.
Will students, 教师, and staff be required to take a 欧洲杯滚球 test prior to studying abroad?
截至2003年.03.2021:
事业单位不需要学生, 教师, or staff to present a negative 欧洲杯滚球 test prior to studying abroad. It is possible that the destination country will require proof of a negative 欧洲杯滚球 test to enter, 在某些情况下, 到达机场后. If this is the case for your program, 国外的教育 and SHAC will work with you and your students to ensure that they have access to a test prior to departure.
Any testing is done at the expense of each student, though many insurers are covering the 欧洲杯滚球 tests free of charge.
What goes into the decision-making process for canceling programs?
国外的教育 considers several factors before canceling a program. We use the CDC and Department of State as our primary guide for decision-making. We are also looking at the policies in each country surrounding travelers: will our students need to self-quarantine upon arrival or upon return to the U.S? Do they need to provide proof of vaccination or similar to travel? Are embassies available to support students while abroad or issue visas when necessary? Are students able to visit sites that are essential to the integrity of the program? All things that we are closely monitoring with our partners overseas.
What happens if travel becomes restricted in the country we are planning to travel to?
Prior to opening a program to applications, we will work with our partners on the ground and the program leader to determine a date by which we would need to cancel the program. The safety of our 教师 and staff is our highest priority, and we will make a detailed plan regarding canceling the program. See the next question regarding program cancellation.
In 2020 & 2021, we successfully transitioned programs to an online format with intercultural components. During the planning stages of your program, Ed Abroad will work with you to determine a Plan B, should your program be unable to travel. Not all programs work in an online format, this is not a requirement, merely a suggestion. This plan will look different depending on the learning outcomes and program inclusions of your particular course.
What happens if my 教师-led program is canceled?
- 学生s are offered the opportunity to have their application fee refunded or deferred to another program or term
- No program fees are charged to students
- 学生s will be given alternate course options to fulfill the same or similar credit during the same term, 为了顺利毕业
What should I tell students concerned about travel during a post-欧洲杯滚球 world?
You can assure students that 事业单位 will not sponsor any program that poses a risk to the health of their students and staff. We will continually be monitoring the situation globally and will cancel the program if it becomes unsafe to travel. Assure students that they will not be responsible for any program fees if their program gets canceled by 事业单位’s 国外的教育 office. We also will make all decisions early enough to allow them to enroll in alternate courses, 在必要时.
