Study abroad
Are you considering studying abroad? ODE collaborates with the Global Engagement Office (GEO) Education Abroad to facilitate a successful experience for Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ with disabilities.
Start with the GEO Education Abroad – Students with disabilities.
Keep this in mind. Other countries have their disability laws and regulations that differ from the United States. As a result, accessibility and accommodations in another country and its host institution may differ from those in the US and the Ñý¼§Ö±²¥. The GEO Education Abroad and ODE will work with you to develop good solutions to accessibility challenges.
Planning & communication
Advanced planning and communication are key elements to make your study abroad successful.
Research
- Gather information about your host country and institution related to your needs (e.g., transportation, housing, physical access, medical care, a service animal, captioned media, sign language interpreting, conversion of print to Braille, test accommodations, and other academic accommodations).
Plan & Communicate
- Review Education Abroad's Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ with disabilities and follow their "Next Steps."
- Notify the GEO Education Abroad of your disability and needs.
- Interact with Education Abroad and ODE to identify and implement accommodations.
- Keep in touch with Education Abroad.
