Health & Safety Abroad
Pace Education Abroad will help support you before, during, and after your study program abroad. However, you are ultimately responsible for your own physical and mental health while abroad. Although there are many factors outside of your control, making good decisions, preparing in advance, avoiding unnecessary risks, and staying informed about what to do in case of an emergency will help mitigate the problems you may encounter.
  • Carefully read through:
  • safety tips to remember while being abroad
  • STEP: All study abroad students are enrolled by Pace Education Abroad in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), a free service from the U.S. Department of State (DoS) for U.S. citizens who are traveling or living abroad. Students are enrolled with the nearest in-country U.S. Embassy or Consulate so that the DoS can assist the student and their families in case of an emergency.
  • Schedule a physical exam with your healthcare provider before you travel, and discuss your plan for filling prescriptions abroad to ensure you’ll have enough for your entire term abroad ahead of time.
  • Meet with your mental health provider to discuss how you will manage your mental health and wellness while abroad. Be proactive prior to travel. Stresses can heighten mental health struggles. Anticipate potential challenges and talk about coping strategies in advance. Understand what resources you have available through your host institution/provider, Pace-provided international insurance, and your own insurance.
  • Share health and safety information with your family to make informed decisions regarding participation in study abroad and behavior while abroad.

Mandatory Pre-departure Orientation at Pace & Abroad
  • All Pace students going abroad on credit-bearing programs are required to attend a pre-departure orientation held by Pace Education Abroad. The orientation stresses health and safety abroad, cultural adjustment, insurance, student identity, mental health, COVID-19 protocols, and other topics. It also covers Pace's academic policies and procedures such as enrollment and credits.  
  • Students must also attend on-site orientation(s) abroad, arranged through their host institution. 

Pace’s Resources 
  • Students should download Pace’s free “PACE SAFE” app, with helpful safety and travel features. 
  • All study abroad students have access to Pace Study Abroad Advisors who can provide additional health and safety information, direct them to further resources, and address specific concerns. 
  • While preparing for study abroad, those who feel they need extra support can reach out to the Pace Counseling Center prior to departure. (Note: Pace Counseling Center services cannot be accessed while abroad because they are not licensed to provide ongoing international services.)
  • If you require accommodation(s) in order to participate in your program abroad, you must self-identify and contact Pace Student Accessibility Services to request copies of your Pace-approved Letter of Accommodation and other documents to provide to your Study Abroad program or foreign university. Think about how you will manage these differences abroad, consider programs that can best support you, and seek as much information as possible before you depart. Advance planning is the key to a successful study abroad experience! 

Who to Call — in case of an emergency while studying abroad
  • First contact the on-site AIFS Resident Director or other in-country program staff. These people are all in-country and will be best able to assist you at the moment of need. 
  • The local AIFS Resident Director's first priority is to seek whatever support is immediately required for the student(s) involved, such as medical attention, transport to a hospital, involvement of local authorities, etc. Resident Directors will accompany students to the required medical facility to assist with consultation, translation, etc.
  • Call Pace Security. +1 (212) 346-1800. They answer the phone 24/7 and will then reach out to the appropriate Pace departments who can assist you. You can also quickly contact them through the Pace SAFE app.
  • If needed (for example, with a lost passport), contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate or the U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Citizens Services. Consular officers are available for emergency assistance 24/7 at +1 (202) 501-4444 (when calling from outside the USA).

International Emergency Medical & Travel Insurance 
All participants on a third-party provider study abroad program like AIFS are required to enroll in the program's emergency medical and travel insurance plan. As a result, Pace will not enroll you in the Pace-arranged international travel insurance plan through Chubb during your semester abroad to avoid charging you for similar coverage which is already provided by your program. ​However, if you would like to be additionally insured by the Pace-arranged plan, please contact our office at Studyabroad@pace.edu

Please carefully review the benefits of your AIFS program plan: https://www.aifsabroad.com/health-safety/

Strategies for Remaining Vigilant 
  • Trust your instincts and remain alert to your surroundings! Remove yourself from a situation if you feel at risk.
  • Keep your cell phone charged and with you at all times. 
  • Learn the in-country 911-equivalent emergency number(s) of your host country.
  • Keep important phone numbers in your phone, in your photos, and in your email (in case you lose access to your phone): on-site program staff, Pace faculty leader, Pace security, and the in-country 911-equivalent emergency numbers. 
  • Be aware of, and adhere to, local laws. Understand what activities are culturally and legally appropriate.  
  • Appropriate use of alcohol is shaped by local laws, cultural norms, individual program regulations, and safety considerations. Alcohol consumption is a major factor in many of the injuries, assaults, and thefts that might be experienced by students on study abroad programs. Excessive drinking can be disruptive to your program and have a negative impact on your experience (and those around you). Before departure, research the drinking culture in the country you're studying in. Finally, your consumption of alcohol (or another drug), and/or your behavior while under the influence, might lead to a violation of local laws in addition to program and Pace University conduct codes.
  • Stay away from high-crime areas.
  • Don't travel alone — especially if you're unfamiliar with the area.
  • Ensure that you and your friends always have a plan for a safe way to get back to your accommodations.
  • Stay informed about current events in your host country. Learn to assess unfamiliar situations and possible risks in your new environment.
  • When traveling away from your program site, make sure that your program staff and family are informed about where you’re going and when you’re expected to return. 
  • Avoid demonstrations, protests, and crowds of people. If you find yourself caught up in one, stay as far from the center of activity as you can. Maintain situational awareness and always know where your exits are! (Do not stay and document the event with your phone or camera!)  

COVID-19 Precautions & Protocols 
  • We encourage students to move forward with study abroad planning, but COVID-19 is still changing and programs/dates are subject to change.
  • Read about Pace policies concerning international travel and study abroad during the COVID-19 pandemic — so that you are aware of the risks (health, financial, and academic) around studying abroad during the pandemic. 
  • Program participation is always contingent upon foreign borders being open to receiving students from Pace, and students must follow pre-arrival and post-arrival COVID-related protocols stated by your host country and host institution abroad. 
  • Pace University could decide to prohibit study abroad based on U.S. Department of State Travel Advisories, CDC Travel Notices (or other data), and/or due to serious new COVID variants. The safety and security of Pace students will always be our top priority. 
  • Review these governmental websites concerning COVID, in relation to your host country abroad: 
  • Review COVID-19 resources on Pace Education Abroad’s Terra Dotta homepage 
  • Discuss plans with your family to determine your personal comfort level with international travel. 
  • We strongly suggest that students purchase the most flexible or refundable option for airline tickets and/or trip cancellation insurance ("cancel for any reason" / CFAR coverage) and ensure that the policy covers cancellation for pandemic-related reasons. (Pace assumes no responsibility for financial losses or penalties due to program cancellation or student withdrawal.)  
  • Be cautious leading up to departure! If you test positive for COVID-19 just prior to departure, your travel could be delayed and you may incur extra costs for travel re-bookings — and you may miss orientation and classes abroad. 



Travel smart, be safe, keep in touch with family, and make the most of your experience abroad!
