Students with Different Abilities and Study Abroad
The Office of Overseas Study encourages all students to consider making
study abroad part of their degree program at Indiana University. And we
welcome students of different abilities who meet our eligibility
requirements to participate in our programs.
In an attempt to assist you with what may be a challenging transition
from your life here in the United States, we:
- Work closely with the Disability Services for Students' Office regarding
your special needs.
- Collect information regarding study abroad opportunities for
students of different abilities in the Diversity Issues Notebook in the
Overseas Study Information Center.
- Will assist you, in conjunction with the National Clearinghouse on
Disability and Exchange and Mobility International,
in finding the appropriate program for you.
-
Include sections in our predeparture handbooks about different abilities.
- Communicate with program staff abroad about accommodations you may
need.
The Access Abroad web site, developed by the University of Minnesota, also provides resources to assist
students with disabilities who wish to study abroad.
While we cannot guarantee that any or all of our program sites can
accommodate your needs or interests, we will do our best at informing you
of your options abroad. If you would like to discuss any aspect of the study
abroad experience, related to your abilities or otherwise, please contact
the Office of Overseas Study.
