CURRENT STUDENT SITE

Welcome to the Loop Abroad Current Student Site!

This site is for participants and their parents to find important details about their programs.

This site is designed to help you prepare for your trip abroad. We ask that you first look up your questions on this site before emailing us. Of course, we are always here to help! But it is very likely that your answers are already provided on this site. It helps us out a lot and we can reply a lot faster to actual questions if everyone first starts their search here on the Current Student Site. You can search this entire site using the magnified glass in the top right corner or by navigating to the page you have questions about (CampDoc, Insurance, etc).

What you will find on this site:

GENERAL INFORMATION: vaccine, CampDoc, credit, insurance, passports, etc. is found at the bottom of this main page.
