Policy Statement

All study abroad and away programs and participants must follow the procedures set out in the study abroad policies and procedures manual for faculty. 

In an effort to centralize Study Abroad and Away policies, procedures, and information as much as possible, and in light of risk assessment and liability issues, it is essential that all Study Abroad programs be developed in tandem with the Study Abroad Office from the earliest planning stages. All Augusta University Study Abroad and Away programs must go through a rigorous multi‐level approval process that is outlined in this manual.
