If you need academic accommodations, we encourage you to register with Learning Services if you have not already. By working with Learning Services, students can receive documentation to give to their abroad program to support the request for accommodations. Students should also be in touch directly with the program as soon as possible (even prior to being accepted) for information on accommodations on site.

• You will need to obtain a letter from your physician in addition to the Director of Learning Services, outlining your accommodation needs and bring them with you overseas.

• Certain prescription medications may be illegal or unavailable in your host country. It is your responsibility to discuss this with your physician and your program health insurer early on, and to find out whether these medications can legally be brought into the country or can be prescribed locally.

• We encourage you to be in touch with the International Programs office and your host program as early as possible so that we may best advise you on program selection and support.
