Planning and Resources
Before students depart for their study abroad experience, the CIP will hold a series of pre-departure meetings designed to provide them with important information and resources to help them throughout their term abroad. In addition, all accepted students have access to general and program-specific pre-departure information through their secure, CIP account. However, we recognize that we cannot always give students information that may be specific to their individual needs. Therefore, we encourage each and every student to conduct their own, supplemental research in order to prepare for the program and the destination. CIP staff are happy to meet with students who have questions, concerns or individual considerations.
