| The health and safety of all students studying abroad with the AustraLearn / AsiaLearn / EuroLearn programs is continuously of utmost concern. We take our role in the health and safety of our students seriously and want to share with you our policies in this area.
Our emergency plan is in place for our programs abroad and we refine our Emergency Response Plan in our operational structure each year. We are focused on communicating with our students studying overseas through AustraLearn / AsiaLearn / EuroLearn as well as those who are preparing for the journey on upcoming programs.
We provide information on international travel guidelines and remind students to be active participants in their safety measures, both on and off their campuses. We monitor world news, including State Department Travel Advisories, on a regular basis and will inform our students, their families, and our advisor partners accordingly. We will not send students or allow students to remain on programs where we have been advised through U.S. Department of State travel warnings that their health and safety is in jeopardy.
Students are reminded to stay in touch with their host program personnel and inform them of any travel plans. We urge students to keep in contact with their home university study abroad advisor, their friends and their families on a regular basis to minimize worry and concern for their safety.
The host programs have excellent support services in place for international students and we encourage the students to utilize these services. In addition this support, students have access to our on-site staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, should they need assistance in an emergency.
We encourage you to review this Health & Safety section of our site and make note of the emergency contact details within the U.S. as well as the on-site emergency contacts. If you have questions about any of the contents, please feel free to contact our office during business hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MST at 1-800-980-0033.
