Announcement: Summer 2021 Study Abroad
Updates regarding the status of Summer 2021 study abroad programs and COVID-19.
The Illinois State Study Abroad Team is proceeding with Summer 2021 Direct Enroll program applications* as normal and will review applications based on the summer application deadlines listed on each program brochure page. Students interested in participating should submit their application via the My Study Abroad portal by the listed deadline for their program of choice. If you are unsure of a program’s deadline, please contact our office.
Illinois State University continues to monitor the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation both domestically and internationally. Should a decision be made to cancel Summer 2021 study abroad programs, students who have started and/or submitted applications in the My Study Abroad portal will be notified by the Study Abroad Team via email as soon as possible.
The Non-Refundable Study Abroad Application Fee of $300.00 will be billed to the student’s ISU Student Account upon official approval to participate by the ISU Study Abroad Team. Should Illinois State University make the decision to cancel Summer 2021 study abroad programs after official approval and prior to program departure, the application fee will be refunded to the student‘s ISU Student Account.
As always, students should not purchase airfare until they have received official notice of approval by both the ISU Study Abroad Team AND their host institution. When exploring travel arrangements, we encourage students to also research travel cancellation coverage and policies (i.e., refunds, vouchers, date changes, etc.).
Update (12/17/2020): The University has officially cancelled all Faculty-Led study abroad programming for Summer 2021.
Direct Enroll applications for Summer 2021 remain open. However, the University will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and make a final decision regarding Direct Enroll programming at a later date.
