Travel for Office of International Affairs managed programs during autumn semester, winter break and spring semester is being assessed for viability. Program viability decisions will be rendered as follows:

• Third party provider programs, direct enroll programs, and exchange programs with August start dates: June 4, 2021
• Faculty-led programs with winter break travel: August 1, 2021
• Spring semester 2022 programs: September 24, 2021
• Spring break 2022 faculty-led programs and summer 2022 programs with required pre-requisite courses: November 10, 2021

Should it be determined that a program is not viable, decisions may be rendered earlier than the published deadline dates. These viability dates are for OIA-managed programs only.

Students are encouraged to explore their options, including virtual programs, and learn more by browsing the education abroad program search tool, watching a tutorial, attending a Getting Started Session, listening to a Buckeyes Abroadcast and participating in a Buckeye Bridge Series event. For these events and more, visit the Office of International Affairs calendar.
