Travel health information is available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for specific countries. Every study abroad student MUST hold this card. Cardholders may call a collect number in the U.S. in case of an emergency for advice and assistance on how to proceed abroad. You purchase the ISIC at the Center for Global Education at Augsburg College through your off-campus study fees. See the ISIC form for instructions.
Study abroad can be physically and emotionally demanding.
Please thoughtfully assess your health in light of the potential rigors of the program. Culture shock and intensive interaction with other group members can also create strains that can affect your health. Illness requiring bed rest impair your ability to participate in scheduled program activities and can affect the group's learning process. We ask that you assess your physical and mental condition carefully and encourage you to consult with your health care provider. Thus, a service charge with rare exception will be levied for all flight deviations.
