PRE-DEPARTURE RESOURCES

Consider updating your vaccinations and even obtaining new ones targeted to the regions where you intend to travel. Make an appointment to visit a Travel Medicine Clinic. Be sure to compare prices, insurance options and services. Let us know what you find out from shopping around, so we can share helpful information with others.

If you are traveling to a destination where you can not speak the local language, consider purchasing a service that will provide live translation over a telephone when you need it. That means, no matter where you are and with whom you are speaking, as long as you have access to a telephone, you have access to a live translator. For more information, visit the Language Assurance Service website.

Also, be sure to prepare for study abroad with our pre-departure guides for COF Travel Courses and semester students.
