Request Accommodation for a Disability –
If you need to request reasonable accommodations for a physical or mental disability
to assist you in studying abroad, please submit a letter from your campus Office
for Students with Disabilities documenting your accommodation needs to your Program
Coordinator. This letter should include information about how any needed accommodations
will be funded. The earlier the accommodations request is made, the more measures
Summer Abroad can take to explore possible accommodations at your program location.
Please also note that accommodations provided on your home campus may differ and/or
may not be available in the host country. In addition, Summer Abroad does not pay
for the cost of accommodations you might need while studying abroad. Please submit
a letter from your campus Student Disability Center, according to the instructions
in “Request for Disability Accommodations Abroad Instructions”—after you have enrolled
in the program.
-
Background Questionnaire – Please complete these form by the May 15th orientation.
Your instructor will review the information on this form when planning the course
content and activities. It’s a nice way for him/her to get to know you before the
program begins.
