The Office of Study Abroad can help with many emergency and non-emergency issues you might experience abroad, even though we are far away.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Student safety is of paramount importance to the Office of Study Abroad. We have a robust system of emergency response protocols in place to ensure timely communication and appropriate student services in emergency and perceived emergency situations.

Please contact the Office of Study Abroad for more information on these protocols.
