Education Abroad
It is with sadness and disappointment that UNH is announcing the cancellation of all student international travel programs and experiences for the Fall 2020 semester in accordance with our International Travel Risk Policy. The U.S. State Department Global Health Advisory Level 4: Do Not Travel remains in effect due to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Applications for January and Spring 2021 remain open with the hope that education abroad programs can resume next year.

Spring 2021 and beyond
Do you recommend I hold off studying abroad until Spring or Summer 2021?
We continue to monitor this evolving global health pandemic on a day-to-day basis. While we hope that conditions improve in the near future to enable international travel and programming, the reality is that we must watch and wait. For a higher degree of certainty, we recommend that students consider planning their study abroad experience for Spring 2021 or later.
My parents don’t want me to study abroad due to COVID-19, but I do, what do you advise?
We encourage every UNH student to have an open discussion about study abroad with their family to come to the decision about when, where, and how to have the most successful international experience.
