Study Abroad in 2021
You are here
Something to Look Forward To
We want nothing more than for you to study abroad safely and happily. As we remain optimistic for the future, we are continuously and cautiously assessing how we can deliver safe, quality programming in 2021. Learn more about our plans for this upcoming summer and fall, and how you can join us in planning for your study abroad experience.
Summer Programs
We are continously reviewing the viability of running our programs in a manner that meets our (and your!) standards. Ultimately, we're doing everything we can to make sure you get the study abroad adventure you're dreaming of—even if some details need to look a bit different—and can stay safe and healthy while doing so.
Health & Safety Protocols
Your safety is our #1 priority. Full stop.
In response to COVID-19, our Crisis Management Team is working 24/7 to keep students, staff, and faculty up to date with the latest coronavirus updates and has released enhanced safety guidelines. While our Summer and Fall 2021 protocols continue to be finessed as we get closer to those terms, Spring 2021 protocols can give you an idea of what to expect.
Refund Policy
A core philosophy of our health and safety procedures is that we plan for the what ifs so that you don't have to. That includes the development of our refund policy for Summer & Fall 2021, which allows you to still plan to study abroad or intern, knowing that if for some reason you cannot participate, your money will be fully refunded.
Travel & Immigration Updates
As we consider what study abroad can look like in 2021, we’re closely monitoring travel warnings and student mobility options to ensure you can get where you need to go, safely! Using up-to-date information from various sources, we track travel and immigration updates in one holistic chart.
Flexibility Is the Name of the Game
Please know that the details for 2021 study abroad can change at any time, whether that be in response to travel regulations, a change in your university's decisions, or another one of the moving pieces. We advise you to have a backup plan to study abroad and familiarize yourself with your home college/university policies and procedures in this unique time.
While we know that uncertainty can be uncomfortable, we hope you choose to give yourself the chance of going abroad and rest assured we'll be in communication throughout this process and will always keep your best interest at heart.
We'd love to chat! It's usually best to hop on a call to talk through the specifics of how our programs can work for you and your needs. That's why we have a dedicated College Relations Manager for your college/university.
