International Travel Policy
Students and educators traveling through one of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ Fox’s established international travel opportunities are required to complete all protocols and procedures, abide by all policies, and comply with all deadlines outlined in the International Travel Handbook. Failure to do so may result in the group or student’s suspension from travel through the university, including withholding of funding and institutional support.
Policies and Procedures
In order to ensure student safety and health, all participants in off-campus programs at ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ Fox are required to follow set policies and procedures outlined in university handbooks.
The safety of our students is a top priority as we travel around the world. Always insist that students travel in groups when they are not with the main group. In many parts of the world, women should always be accompanied by men. If students continually go off on their own in what you perceive as a dangerous situation, you have the authority to send them home.
See the Safety and Travel Tip Handbook and visit our Policies page for more information.
Trip Goals
