亲爱的同学们, I am writing to you in regards to the fall semester abroad. The Office of International Programs (OIP) is moving forward with sending students abroad for the fall 2021 semester. As we transition back to sending students abroad, I will address what fall semester abroad may look like. Rules 和 regulations regarding Covid are constantly shifting. Our office has been reviewing the latest travel advice issued by the U.S. Department State Department 和 the Centers for Disease Control. We have reviewed how our host countries are responding to the p和emic. We have worked closely with our partners 和 our on-site staff abroad. We have also reviewed what our peer institutions in the United States are doing regarding international exchange. We feel we have done our due diligence in resuming study abroad 和 exchange programs for the fall 2021 semester. 随着夏天的到来, we will continue to take a nuanced approach to monitoring all available resources. 额外旅行表格 All 电子游戏软件 students going abroad this fall are required to review 和 sign two new documents: the OIP Travel Form 和 Covid-19 Addendum. 都可以通过 MyOIP学生门户网站 并且必须签名 2021年6月16日 用于最后的国外清关. To sign the form, please follow these instructions: 1. 登入你的 我的OIP门户 2. 单击您的程序名称 3. 提交COVID-19附录 和 旅游咨询协议 International Health 和 紧急 Services Insurance All 电子游戏软件 students studying abroad are required to have international health insurance. 今年生效, 电子游戏软件 partners with Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI) to provide health 和 emergency services to BC students while traveling 和 living outside the United States. In addition to this insurance provided by 电子游戏软件 和 CISI, we strongly recommend that students consider purchasing Cancel for Any Reason or Interrupt for Any Reason insurance (CFAR/IFAR). 可以找到更多信息 在这里. Please note this is not a recommendation for this particular CFAR/IFAR; it is simply one vetted via BC’s contracted international health provider. 学生 are free to search for other coverage which meets their needs.
预期 学生 should note that teaching 和 living conditions abroad may differ from what may occur 在这里 at 电子游戏软件. 例如, t在这里 still may be some hybrid courses offered by your host institution or limitations regarding classroom space. Some cities 和 regions may still require social distancing 和 mask wearing during your time abroad. Other locations may still require students to quarantine upon arrival, 或新冠病毒检测呈阴性, 即使你已经接种了疫苗. 我们强烈建议学生不要这样做, 或在, least limit their travel outside their host countries. Some destinations may still have restrictions on traveling to other countries or regions. Leaving your host country may jeopardize your ability to return to your host program. If you do decide to travel 和 are subject to quarantines, additional Covid testing, etc., students are responsible for any costs incurred, as well as any missed academic assignments.
2022年春季候补名单 As we proceed with fall 2021 programs, we offer this update regarding the spring 2022 waitlist. At this time, we will not be removing any students from the waitlist. The next time we review the waitlist, will be during the fall 2021 semester. The odds are still quite low that we will be able to accommodate more students for the spring 2022 semester. Our spring programs remain at capacity 和 it is unlikely this will change. I recommend continuing with your fall abroad plans. If you have withdrawn from fall 和 are hoping for spring 2022, I encourage you to consider a summer 2022 program or study abroad for the fall 2022 semester, 因为春天的空间不太可能打开.
进一步的问题 If you have further questions regarding your fall semester abroad, please contact your regional Program Manager for more information.
Additionally, your Program Manager will host pre-departure meetings in June 和 July. Please attend as they are meant to assist you with your fall semester. Details to be provided by your Program Manager. We look forward to assisting you as you begin your fall semester abroad. We would suggest sharing this information with your parents 和 guardians. 问候,
拉里·皮肯
