The International Studies Office is dedicated to assisting all students pursue international experiences. These needs do not disappear when a student leaves the country, but careful planning can help students find a program that is able to accommodate their needs. Students with special needs should begin research and planning long before the anticipated term abroad. Many needs are not visually apparent, so the more you are able to share with your Study Abroad Advisor, the more he or she will be able to utilize available resources and knowledge to identify appropriate program options. The ISO also strongly encourages students with special needs to involve Disability Services, doctor(s), and counselors in the planning process.
