Study abroad
Are you considering studying abroad? ODE collaborates with the Global Engagement Office (GEO) Education Abroad to facilitate a successful experience for students with disabilities.
Start with the GEO Education Abroad – Students with disabilities.
Keep this in mind. Other countries have their disability laws and regulations that differ from the United States. As a result, accessibility and accommodations in another country and its host institution may differ from those in the US and the 猎奇重口. The GEO Education Abroad and ODE will work with you to develop good solutions to accessibility challenges.
Planning & communication
Advanced planning and communication are key elements to make your study abroad successful.
Research

- Notify the GEO Education Abroad of your disability and needs.
