Health and Safety Concerns
What the Office of Education Abroad Does to Keep Your Student Safe
- Monitors security list-serve and State Department warnings daily.
- Requires faculty directors to submit a trip itinerary and an Emergency Action Plan, which details in-country resources in the event of an emergency.
- Maintains a 24-hour emergency line with a staff member on-call at all times (contact 740-593-1911 if you need to get in touch with us).
- Ensures that each participant has an Emergency Contact Card before they leave the U.S., which supplies contact information for their program director and other in-country resources (police, hospitals, etc.) in the event of an emergency.
- Requires students to register with the U.S. embassy in their country. The embassy can provide assistance to students in many emergency situations.
- Enrolls students in mandatory international health insurance for the duration of their time abroad.
