GROUP STUDY PROGRAMS SAFETY PLANNING RECORD

The purpose of this Record is to document the potential risks that students and faculty participating in a Group Study Program may encounter in the international location, and to create a plan for mitigating those risks.

This Record will form the basis for portions of the Health and Safety Pre-Departure Student workshops, and the Student Handbook for the Term Abroad Program. Our goal in planning ahead is to prepare students and faculty as fully as possible, thereby mitigating the risks they will encounter difficulties during the experience.

This form is to be completed by the Program Director as part of the approval process for the GSP.
