Students

Should you encounter an emergency abroad, first contact your program director or on-site coordinator for support. When you have addressed any immediate health or safety issues and are in a secure location, contact your family and Public Safety (University Police) +1 (706-864-1500). Someone will be able to assist you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We will work with you, along with the Embassy in your location, to provide support during a period of unrest. Support could come in many forms and will be appropriate to the situation.
