The cultural adjustment process on study abroad programs requires psychological flexibility in the face of different customs, beliefs, and living conditions. Students who are currently managing a mental health condition are encouraged to discuss any concerns with their health professional and/or the Student Health, Safety & Wellbeing staff at SIT Study Abroad. SIT’s health review process is designed to support students in making the safest and most reasonable choices regarding their mental health.

SIT Disability Services works to facilitate an accessible educational experience for students with disabilities and to serve as a resource for all members of the academic community. Students with learning, physical, mental health, or other types of disabilities are encouraged to contact us as early as possible for information and support.

Students are required to comply with all SIT Study Abroad policies and procedures including program-specific policies and local codes of conduct. Behavior must be above reproach at all times and students are expected to take into consideration the values and norms of host communities, and the well-being of fellow students and program staff.
