Education Abroad Summer Program Update (3/12)

Dear аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅÏ¢Education Abroad Students on Faculty-Led Programs,

I am sure all of you are aware, global concerns over the COVID-19/coronavirus have caused several governments, including our own, to restrict travel. Our students’ health and safety are our priority. Therefore, it is with great regret that we announce the cancelations of USF’s spring and summer faculty-led programming through July 31, 2020.

аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅÏ¢will remove all study abroad program costs placed on your student account. We hope to have all of this completed within a 30-day period.

Regarding purchased airfare, we recommend that you request a full refund of your airfare or a full credit for future travel from your chosen airline. All major U.S. airlines have now indicated they are willing to either refund the cost of your flight, or award you a full credit for you to use over the next year. Note: Due to the high volume of calls, airlines may not be able to immediately process requests for flights scheduled for later dates. Please be patient with this process. Obtaining a refund may take several weeks.

Should you require further guidance, please contact the Education Abroad Gateway Office at (813) 974-5474.

We know this news is disappointing. We hope that once the global public health crisis resolves, you will consider traveling abroad through аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅÏ¢again.

If you have questions or concerns specific to your program, please contact your program manager directly. Reach out to our main e-mail for general questions or questions about airfare (EducationAbroad@usf.edu).

Kind Regards,

Education Abroad Office
