Am I required to be vaccinated in order to participate in a study abroad experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n 69色情视频 Faculty-led Study Abroad Programs<\/b> <\/em>– As per 69色情视频\u2019s COVID-19 Student Immunization Policy and Procedure<\/a>, all participants (students and employees) of Ramapo faculty-led study abroad programs<\/a> must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and provide evidence. Medical or religious exemptions will not be accepted.<\/span><\/p>\n All other 69色情视频-approved Study, Volunteer or Intern Abroad program<\/em>s<\/b> – Students are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated, but this is not\u00a0required <\/i>by 69色情视频. Students who are not vaccinated or receive a medical or religious exemption may participate in a third-party provider program coordinated by the Roukema Center for International Education, only if there are no vaccine requirements established by the provider or host institution or as per travel\/destination country restrictions. The Director of International Education (Ben Levy, blevy1@ramapo.edu<\/a>)<\/em> can provide further\u00a0guidance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What changes has 69色情视频 made to its international programs in light of the COVID-19 outbreak?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The College withdrew all students studying abroad for the Spring 2020 semester, and suspended all Ramapo Faculty-Led programs beginning the Spring 2020 semester through the Summer 2021 term. 2022 Faculty-led program updates\u00a0 and available programs will be presented on the faculty-led program webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n In this world of quickly changing information, we understand that inaccurate information does sometimes emerge. We encourage you to return to this page for the latest information.<\/p>\n How does 69色情视频 decide to cancel faculty-led international programs due to COVID-19 related concerns?<\/span> When the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issues a\u00a0Warning Level 3 \u2013 Avoid Nonessential Travel<\/em> notice for a country, 69色情视频 will no not offer a Ramapo faculty-led program to that destination. In addition, we also consider additional factors such as entry requirements to a country (i.e. testing, quarantining, etc.), availability for local health resources, student program interest, and much more. When this happens, all students registered for that Ramapo faculty-led program will be notified of the restriction and the Ramapo managed international programs for that country will be cancelled. In addition, the Ramapo International Office will reach out to students individually about program cancellations and next steps.<\/p>\n 69色情视频 may also cancel programs if travel disruptions or host country restrictions could prevent them from meeting the educational goals of the travel experience (regardless of whether or not the host country is under a Ramapo Travel Restriction).<\/p>\n As a student, what can I do to minimize the impact of a possible program cancellation?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Recognizing that the COVID-19 outbreak is fluid and unpredictable, 69色情视频 encourages you to:<\/p>\n If I am currently abroad on an international program and choose to return home on my own, how might my academic credit and finances be affected?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 69色情视频 understands that personal tolerance for risk may vary and that individuals may choose to leave programs that have not been cancelled. We respect these personal decisions. If you are considering returning home, talk with your host university or program provider to find out what options might be available for online learning or remote exams that could help you complete your coursework. If this is not an option, then it is critical that you reach out to the international office as soon as possible so that we can see what on-campus academic options may be available, if any. Any financial impact for returning to the U.S. from a study abroad program, is the responsibility of the student.<\/p>\n Does 69色情视频 have any recommendations for faculty or staff traveling overseas on college-business?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n They are required to follow 69色情视频 guidance: https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/international-travel\/locations\/<\/a>, which includes avoiding all travel to countries under 69色情视频 Travel Restriction (Level 4), and additional travel policy restrictions communicated by the college administration. Employees are also required to register their international travel with 69色情视频 (https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/international-travel\/faculty-and-staff\/travel-registration\/<\/a>) so they can receive university communications, international insurance and updates specific to their location.<\/p>\n\n 69色情视频 Health Services<\/a><\/p>\n World Health Organization (WHO) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)<\/strong><\/p>\n United States Department of State (US-DOS) Food and Drug Administration (FDA)<\/strong><\/p>\n White House \/ United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)<\/strong><\/p>\n New Jersey Department of Health<\/strong><\/p>\n WorldAware<\/strong><\/p>\n Tracking & Simulators International SOS (i-SOS)<\/strong><\/p>\n Travel Restrictions & Airline Policies<\/strong><\/p>\n
