We do not support studying in a country which is listed on the U.S. Department of State's Travel Warning/Advisory List at the time of or before your departure. Also, please be aware of any Public Announcements which are published by the U.S. State Department to warn U.S. Americans traveling abroad. We also discourage participation in countries for which the U.S. State Department issues Consular Information Sheets containing safety warnings. Specifically check any section entitled "Areas of Instability".
U.S. State Department Travel Warnings are also posted in the Study Abroad Office. We want you to be aware of these obstacles to studying abroad, but we understand that the final decision regarding participation is yours to make. Students who nevertheless want to study on a program in a location which is listed on the U.S. State Department Travel Warning List, may in certain instances do so by taking an approved foreign leave of absence. Transfer credit must be pre-approved by the Study Abroad office, and Clark financial aid can not be applied to these programs.
