Travel Warnings, Alerts, Advisories and/or Public Announcements

The SPC Center for International Programs Office monitors country travel warnings, advisories and/or public announcements set forward by the U.S. Department of State or other agencies such as The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If a travel advisory or alert is in effect for the date of the intended college-sponsored and/or arranged travel, the college will further review the plans, including possible recommendations for trip cancellation if there is found to be significant risk to the traveler. SPC also reserves the right to cancel any faculty-led travel study abroad programs and to not approve any individual study abroad programs given any apparent risk factors.
