We are proactive about risk management in order to reduce risk to students as much as possible, but we cannot eliminate all risk.
Furthermore, student behavior is a critical, perhaps the critical, component of a safe study abroad experience.
We have an experienced senior management team with 100 years of cumulative experience in higher education, study abroad and risk management and have helped shape some of the industry standards for best practices in study abroad.
Some of the steps we take as part of our focus on safety include:
* unless your home institution is a University Partner which has made customized arrangements
Having said all that, sensible student behavior is critical to ensuring a safe and healthy experience.
All students on our study abroad programs are legally adults and are ultimately responsible for their decision-making and their safety. We expect students to act in a safe and thoughtful manner; otherwise, we reserve the right to ask a student to leave the program.
We encourage students and parents to have in-depth discussions about safety before and during the study abroad process. We also encourage parents and students to read the Health and Safety Practices recommended by the Interorganizational Task Force on Safety and Responsibility in Study Abroad, a consortium made up of the leading organizations in overseas studies.
We believe these practices offer a helpful overview of the best practices for study abroad providers, students and parents in health and safety issues.
