Covid-19 Plans

Testing requirement: No program required covid testing prior to arrival, or on program sponsored travel.

Masking requirement: Masking is optional on campus.

Positive cases: When a student tests positive, those who have had no symptoms for at least 2 (two) days can terminate their isolation after 5 (five) days from the first positive test with no need for a negative test. Asymptomatic individuals may test out of isolation prior to the 5 days. Use of FFP2 mask is mandatory until the 10th day from the start of symptoms, or, if asymptomatic, from the first positive test, avoiding high-risk people or crowded places. Close contacts of a positive testing individual must wear a FFP2 mask.

Testing requirement: Students are not required to provide a negative test upon arrival to the London program. Testing is required for program sponsored over-night field trips: students must provide a negative test result 24 hours before the trip. Failure to submit a test result will result in exclusion from the field trip. Students testing positive, and close contacts cannot attend Syracuse London led trips.

Masking requirement: While we strongly recommend this, masking is optional while on campus.

Positive cases: When a student tests positive for Covid-19, they must report this immediately to the Student Support Office. They are then given a timeline for isolation depending on their specific situation. Typically, students must isolate for 10 days with day 0 being the first day of symptoms/when student tested positive (whichever came first). Students can end isolation early with negative tests from Day5/6.

Currently, other members of a household where someone tests positive, including those who do not have any symptoms, are required to wear a well-fitting mask for at least 5 days. Day 0 is the day of your last exposure to a positive individual. On day 5 after your last exposure, you will need to test using a self-administered test. If you test negative, continue to wear a well-fitting mask around others and monitor your symptoms through day 10. This applies even if students have been fully vaccinated.

Testing requirement: Prior to Arrival to the Madrid program, covid testing is required 72 hours before students leave their departing airport (PCR), and again on the day of departure (antigen). Students must provide their negative results by uploading both to their OrangeAbroad portal.

Masking requirement: The use of masks at the Instituto Internacional, inside Madrid program offices and in the classrooms is strongly recommended, but it is a personal choice in line with government guidelines.

Positive cases: A five-day isolation requirement will be in effect from the date of the onset of symptoms or the date of the positive test if someone is asymptomatic. If two students share a room, and one roommate tests positive, the negative student will be offered alternative housing for the five-day isolation period; however, the negative student has the option to opt out of relocating. Following the five-day isolation period, the positive student must commit to wearing a mask while in the room for five more days. Roommates who both test positive will continue to room together.

Testing requirement: No program required covid testing prior to arrival.

Masking requirement: Students are asked to mask during program sponsored trips with extended travel.

Positive cases: five-day isolation requirement.

Information forthcoming, contact your International Program Advisor with specific questions.

Testing requirement: All program participants will be required to take a COVID test upon arrival in Poland.  For the initial six days in Poland, we have created a program to allow students to begin their studies for the fall semester and explore Wroclaw with limited contact with individuals outside of the program. This initial period of limited contact is intended to create a safe social bubble – as much as possible – for participants. We ask students to practice social distancing and limit outside contacts during the initial six days in Poland to ensure a safe launch of the travel seminar. All participants will be required to take a COVID test prior to departure on the travel seminar. Those who develop symptoms during the seminar will be tested.

Masking requirement: Masks will be required on the bus and during all indoor lectures and group site visits. Please bring enough masks to last for the duration of the travel seminar. Syracuse Central Europe staff will also have a supplemental supply of masks available. The use of masks at the DSW University of Lower Silesia is recommended, but not required. There may be circumstances when masks may be required. Staff will communicate those requirements clearly to students.

Positive cases: individuals must isolate for 5 days from the date of the onset of symptoms or the date of the positive test if someone is asymptomatic. The positive case will also be required to wear a mask at all times for five days after the isolation period. If this occurs during program travel, the positive case must remain in the city and miss all visits/activities.

We continue to monitor World Partner programs’ Covid-19 plans and updates. As program updates are received, applicants will be informed and/or major updates will be posted on the program’s brochure page. Schedule an advising appointment with the World Partner team if you have questions about a specific program.
