Political, Social or Natural Emergencies
In the event of a political, social or natural emergency, the Office of International Services will be in close contact with the on颅site staff and/or U.S. program contact for any study abroad program offered through Saint Louis University.
The on颅-site staff will in turn seek advice from the local authorities and the U.S. consulate or embassy nearest the program location. Assistance will be managed in coordination with our medical and security insurance provider.
Parents, friends and family are asked to communicate with the study abroad staff to allow on-site staff to focus on working with students and local officials.
