Students enrolled in the ˿����Ƶ BA Liberal Arts/Israel Study Abroad Program are considered ˿����Ƶ undergraduate students and are eligible for all applicable state and federal financial aid programs.

After receiving an acceptance from ˿����Ƶ, students must confirm their enrollment by making a $100 deposit. Deposits can be waived if a student provides, in writing, a request for a deposit waiver due to financial hardship. All deposits are applied to the student’s tuition bill. 

Students who study abroad or participate in international service learning, internships, clinical rotations, field experiences, research, student teaching, or volunteering, must see the Global Programs office for separate Safety and Security Guidelines required for international experiences conducted under the auspices of ˿����Ƶ. 

The following events would compel ˿����Ƶ to temporarily suspend or cancel our study abroad programs:

• The U.S. State Department advisory level for the country is elevated to Level 4, “Do not travel” or Level 3, “Reconsider travel”. Please be aware that all Level 3 countries will be determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the reason for the Level 3 and in conjunction with experts in the area and approval of the Committee on Safety and Security in Study Abroad.
• The U.S. or other country governments recommend immediate departure or evacuation of all U.S. citizens.

While these factors are currently our guiding criteria for suspension or cancellation, ˿����Ƶ may, at any time, expand this list of criteria if it is deemed to be in the best interest, safety and wellbeing of our participants. 

Everyone’s tolerance for risk differs, and it is important for students to have a serious discussion with their families and Global Programs about what risks and uncertainties they are willing and permitted to assume.

˿����Ƶ does not assume responsibility for healthcare-related costs arising from the illness or injury of a student. Students in the BA Liberal Studies/Israel Study Abroad Program health insurance is covered by their affiliated Seminary. Travel Insurance (medical evacuation and political and natural disaster) is handled by the ˿����Ƶ Univeristy Global Programs Office.  Please contact Global Programs for further information.
