Medical Review Process
SIT Study Abroad is committed to the health and safety of all our program participants. Through our years of experience, we have found that preparation, prevention and communication are key to keeping students healthy and safe.
Prior to departure, all students must submit a medical form, which will be reviewed by our health center. All questions must be answered, and materials must be submitted on time.
We strongly encourage all students to fully disclose their medical history so that we can prepare them properly for their experience, make arrangements for any special accommodations for students if necessary, and in some cases, assess whether there may be any medical reasons that a student should consider another program.
This information will be kept confidential and will be provided to our Academic Directors in country as necessary, so that our program staff will know students' medical history in case of an emergency. A member of our staff may contact students to discuss program realities and to clarify expectations for our program staff and for the student.
Please note that failure to disclose complete and accurate information on the medical form can result in dismissal from the program.
Accommodations
If students require special services because of a disability, they should notify the SIT Study Abroad office in writing. SIT Study Abroad requests a letter from the student’s Office of Disability Services, and SIT will do all that it reasonably can to accommodate a student’s needs.
SIT makes every effort to provide programs that are accessible to all. Without having such information at least 60 days prior to the program, we cannot ensure appropriate support services to facilitate students' learning and safety. Read more in our Health Guidelines.
