AU Abroad and the ASAC make every effort to ensure that students with disabilities can participate successfully in study abroad programs. Since 2003, AU students with disabilities have studied abroad as frequently as other AU students and their experiences have been remarkable.

Please be aware that we cannot guarantee that facilities or support services will be available at each location abroad in the same range and quality as on the AU campus. We cannot alter architecture, transportation, or laws in other countries. We can听make an individual assessment of need as it relates to a student鈥檚 interest, support system needs, and the availability of accommodations. We have created the following checklist for suggested procedures for AU students with disabilities who desire to study abroad.

• Identify one or more study abroad sites that interest you
• Make an appointment early in the process with your Disability Access Advisor in the Academic Support and Access Center to begin a conversation about study abroad options
• Research to confirm whether you will have access to what you need for a successful experience abroad
• Apply online at the AU Abroad website
• Once admitted, complete the Disability Accommodation Request form online
• Request a letter of accommodation from your Disability Access Advisor and present it to your study abroad site coordinator if accommodations are needed
