Important announcement regarding Covid-19 Vaccine requirement: Consistent with the Chancellor’s message to the University community on April 8, 2021, Syracuse Abroad requires all participants to be fully vaccinated at least two weeks prior to their departure for any program, unless students have obtained an approved medical or religious exemption.

Not only will the vaccine have a direct and positive impact on the quality of your study abroad experience,  we anticipate vaccine requirements being issued by destination governments in the very near future.

Any questions regarding the required vaccine can be directed to Bridget Demorest, Assistant Director Student Services
