Information on the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Study Abroad

Yes. We are talking to your program providers about online course options. These online courses will still count towards the Michigan Tech credits that were pre-approved before you left. 

No reimbursement will be provided. 

We recommend you take the following steps:

1. If you purchased travel insurance, contact your provider first to see if your policy includes emergency evacuation assistance and to confirm any trip interruption policies. 
2. Talk to your on-site program coordinator for guidance booking your new travel plans. They will be working with other students in the same situation and should have the most up-to-date information on local transportation options
3. Contact the airline through which you booked your original ticket home to request a change of flight.
4. If you’re experiencing problems rebooking your travel, please contact the Study Abroad office.

Michigan Tech is unable to help financially with new flight expenses.

Study abroad programs are currently suspended through December 2020. We will reopen study abroad opportunities as soon as global, federal, state, and University authorities deem it is safe and appropriate.
