Check for your destination country鈥檚 specific restrictions on how much of a particular drug can be brought into that country at a time.
3. Check with your insurance provider how your plan will work abroad (for example, if you need to pay for services upfront and submit a request for a refund later).
4. Get all the required and recommended immunizations for the host country.

Medical Forms and Self-Disclosure

Probably the most important step in ensuring your health abroad is by taking stock of your health and well-being now and making sure that you will receive the necessary information and support when you are overseas. If you self-disclose to the staff at the Office of Global Initiatives whatever conditions you have and be proactive in seeking advice, we can more easily support you before you travel, as well as when you are abroad, as is our goal. If you do not feel comfortable speaking with OGI, we recommend that you speak with University Health Services or C-CAPS, depending on your condition.

Students who acknowledge their conditions and who self-disclose can receive the appropriate care and attention that allows them to successfully study abroad. Do not leave yourself vulnerable to a potential health crisis or breakdown while abroad which may result in you returning home and losing a semester of academic credits and financial aid.

If you have any ongoing conditions (physical, mental, accommodations, etc) that you will continue to address or require support while abroad, please do not hesitate to reach out to your study abroad program and/or your advisor in the Office of Global Initiatives. The earlier you let us know, the better prepared we will be to support you.
