Students with Disabilities

Disabilities need not be a barrier to studying abroad. If you have a disability and would like to study abroad, it is important to thoroughly research your planned destination. 

The Study Abroad Office and the Office of Specialized Services will work with you to identify options. Please contact us with questions. Disability issues should be brought to the attention of program personnel as early in your  consideration of study abroad as possible.  This will facilitate exploration of the availability and feasibility of arrangements in other countries.  

Disability access may be approached in other countries and cultures differently. Some countries are fully accessible while others provide few or no accommodations. Being flexible and keeping an open attitude towards the differences in host countries and having as much preparation and information as possible will aid in the adjustment to living and studying in the new environment.
