Education Abroad and Overseas Campuses will keep students, their families, and partner institutions informed of any impact upon our programs and students abroad.

SUMMER 2021
Applications are closed for Summer 2021. Temple’s Education Abroad office has made extensive efforts to make studying abroad possible for summer 2021, but given the global changes amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, some programs may not run. For programs that do run, your study abroad experience will differ from how you may have imagined it. As we move forward cautiously, but optimistically, we will provide you with updates specific to your program. In the meantime, we encourage you to reference Education Abroad’s COVID-19 Acknowledgement of Risks. View program status and waitlist information for details.

Back-up plans for Fall 2021 TUJ, External, and Exchange programs
We know that studying abroad this coming fall is important to you. The Education Abroad Office continues to monitor the situation around the world, and your health and safety in your program location is our primary concern. Despite positive signs on vaccination rates here in the U.S., at this time, many countries are still experiencing border closures, strict immigration restrictions and local conditions related to the virus that are impacting medical infrastructure and capacity. Developing a back-up plan for your program is crucial. Applicants must complete a back-up plan survey no later than April 15th to have a back-up application available to you. Exceptions and extensions are not possible.
