ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï has canceled all summer study abroad programs and travel experiences as the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread.

While this was a difficult decision, it’s not possible to accurately predict which countries will eventually have outbreaks. ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï values the safety and well-being of its students above all else, and those values led to this decision.
The Office of Global Opportunities has created a frequently-asked questions page to assist those who had summer travel plans. ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï previously announced its restriction on travel to include all University-sponsored travel.
If impacted students have further questions, please contact the Office of Global Opportunities at global.opportunities@ohio.edu or call 740-593-4583 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
