• To help you have a successful semester abroad, we strongly encourage you to notify your program about all medical and psychological conditions you may have, so they can provide you with the resources and support you that need.

• It is strongly recommended that you get a full medical and dental check up before going abroad.

• Any academic or medical accommodations received at Trinity should be disclosed to the program right away so that they can assess if the accommodation can be provided abroad.

ALL TRINITY COLLEGE STUDENTS studying abroad are required to have comprehensive international health & security insurance while abroad that will provide full coverage outside the United States (including emergency evacuation and repatriation).

If your program does not include comprehensive international health & security insurance, you will be automatically enrolled into the Trinity College ISOS insurance plan by the Office of Study Away. CLICK HERE to learn more about the ISOS insurance plan.

• If you are currently taking any medication, make arrangements with your physician to bring enough of the prescription with you abroad for the semester so your regimen is not disrupted.

• It is not possible to have a prescription refilled in another country.

• Be sure to get a doctor's note and written prescription for ALL medications you bring abroad with you.

• When traveling, keep all medications, doctors notes and written prescriptions in your carry-on luggage so you can present them at border control, if needed.

• Do not mail medications. They will get held up in customs and will not be delivered to you abroad.

• It is important to note that not all medications prescribed in the U.S. are legal in other countries (such as Adderall). Do some research and contact your international medical insurance to make sure you are taking all the required steps needed to bring your medication with you.
