LEP TIER 2 COURSE WAIVER

FOR STUDY ABROAD STUDENTS

All students who study abroad for the span of a semester or year shall have the opportunity to waive two of their successfully completed courses for Tier 2 requirements. Students, however, may not waive departmental degree requirements, unless authorized by the department, nor may they waive both of the Natural World science requirements.

DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION, TOURISM, AND SPORT MANAGEMENT

This unique program gives students the opportunity to meet and study with like-minded students from our partners at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU).

In Liverpool, the “World Capital City of Pop,” students will learn about the shared historical and cultural roots of our respective port cities of New Haven and Liverpool, both of which played key roles in the international, economic and cultural development of the U.S. and U.K. Students will be required to attend meetings with fellow students and Dr. Lee deLisle prior to departure, and develop a research project linked to their current coursework, major, and the opportunities available in Liverpool.

While in Liverpool, students will visit the university and may attend classes with LJMU students in areas relevant to their own programs of study.

In addition to the interaction with LJMU students and faculty, students will have the opportunity to visit many sites important to the identity of Liverpool, as well as day trips to the medieval city of Chester. This is a valuable experience for those students who may consider a future semester or year-long exchange at LJMU.

The 2019 Special Education Summer Program in Guatemala takes place in the colorful and culturally rich rural highlands and rainforest of our diverse and developing neighbor to the south. The program fosters an understanding of human diversity including culture, language, beliefs, traditions, and values, necessary to support individuals with disabilities from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Students will learn about special education in a developing nation through interactions with children, teachers and families; discussions with in-country experts; community observations; visits to schools, and other agencies serving individuals with disabilities. An experiential-learning model will allow participants to work together to examine policies, programs, and services for persons with disabilities, with attention to prevalence, culture, family involvement, professional preparation, resources, and prevention.

Course activities will highlight the critical role of individuals in effecting change and improving outcomes for persons with disabilities.

During their visit to “the land of eternal spring,” students will enjoy spending time with a Mayan family, giving service to persons with disabilities, exploring rural villages, climbing pyramids in Tikal National Park, and many other unique cultural experiences.

The 2020 Summer Program in Poulton, UK, offers students an unprecedented opportunity to experience an intensive field school study in archaeology and English history. Located just five miles from the medieval city of Chester, Poulton is home to a multiperiod excavation site dating back to the Mesolithic period. Prior excavations have uncovered a chapel and graveyard, which has yielded over 850 skeletal remains thus far, and which suggests another 800 burials yet to be unearthed. There is evidence, too, of high-status Roman occupation, Bronze Age farming, Neolithic activity and Mesolithic use of the site for seasonal hunting.

It is suggested that Poulton has been home to nearly 10,000 years of continuous human activity.

While abroad, students will participate in the continuing excavation, spending 10 days on-site, working alongside archaeologists and volunteers. Students will be expected to learn archaeological methodology, gain hands-on experience in an active and significant excavation, and learn how to process artifacts and human skeletal remains. While not on-site, students will visit other ruins of historic and prehistoric significance, process artifacts and skeletal remains in the Liverpool John Moores University bioarchaeology lab, and explore the city of Chester.

(The program fee includes the cost of CISI insurance — a stand-alone insurance policy that provides comprehensive medical coverage internationally and meets the university’s minimum requirements for emergency medical evacuation and repatriation coverage required for all students studying abroad.

For more information about CISI insurance, please visit the Office of International Education or call 203-392-6756 to schedule an appointment. For more information, visit culturalinsurance.com/SelfEnrollment/SCSU).

• Records free of disciplinary problems • Attendance at all pre-departure and return meetings CANCELLATION POLICY

In the event of an off-campus program cancellation, students will be refunded all fees that are recoverable from program providers (airlines, hotels, etc.). The OIE will make every reasonable effort to negotiate for refunds. The university reserves the right to cancel this program in the event that student safety abroad is in question.

Students who wish to purchase cancellation insurance should contact their insurance provider. In the event of a cancellation, tuition refunds will be given in accordance with the policy of the university. Copies of cancellation policy, required releases, and medical statements may be obtained from the OIE. The program accepts no responsibility for personal property, which must be insured separately if so desired; in particular, students are urged not to bring valuables with them. The program reserves the right to make changes required by unforeseen circumstances.

The OIE is keenly aware of the risks associated with education abroad. Student safety is our top priority.

Risk Management Session and Packet: At the mandatory Risk Management Session, OIE staff will discuss with program participants all of the documentation that comprises the “Risk Management ePacket,” including the Health Self-Assessment Form (ensuring students meet all health requirements and are fit to study abroad) and a checklist of all necessary supplementary documents. The Risk Management session covers Emergency Contact Information and FERPA waivers, the SCSU Code of Conduct and student conduct violations, health insurance and liability, Disability Resources and S.A.R.T., and the Center for Disease Control and State Department Travel Information.

Copies of Passport and Insurance Cards, and Packet Notarization: When the Risk Management Packet has been completed, students must meet with a notary public to have the final page of the packet notarized. Notary publics are available in most banks and post offices, although the university is often able to request notary services on campus if scheduled in advance through the OIE. After the packet has been notarized, the OIE makes copies of student passports and domestic health insurance cards, and also takes passport-sized photos for use in the packet.

In addition, students are strongly encouraged to enroll in the U.S. Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to register their trip with the local U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Registration is available at https://step.state.gov/step.
