Purchase of Trip Cancellation Insurance

The University continues to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 upon our Study Abroad Programs. The Division of Global Engagement/Study Abroad will do all that we can to make decisions that will keep you safe and protect your financial investment. Decisions about programs will be made in February and March depending on the location. Once participants are informed that their program is definitely going, they are responsible for the financial obligations as set forth in our refund policy. Should a participant wish for additional protection, it is the participant’s responsibility to research trip cancellation/interruption insurance.

Tuition Exemptions Cannot Be Used

Study Abroad is a special program within the University of Louisiana at Lafayette; therefore tuition exemptions do not apply. Military benefits vary based on status. Please contact the Study Abroad Office for more information.
