建议出发前时间表

以帮助确保您的程序尽可能顺利地运行, 强烈建议您考虑以下出发前时间表.

提前一年

• Consider applying for funding to conduct a site visit (department/program; Christian Johnson Endeavor funds).
• Identify a second responsible adult who can work in-country with you, or join you from the U.S.
• 制定预算、行程和教学大纲.
• 开始收集有关该地点的健康和安全信息. You can use the College's membership to 国际SOS to help you with this; they also have country specialists that you can consult with in detail, 并将帮助您制定最安全的行程.

个月前

• 仅适用于夏季街区:在课程描述中包含一份COI(讲师同意). 这可以让你影响谁在国外注册block. Be mindful that traveling 和 studying overseas often requires emotional maturity 和 academic readiness beyond what is required for an on-campus class. Though CC staff will respond 和 support you in case of an emergency during the block abroad, 您可能无法立即获得相同的服务.
• Schedule an information session with detailed information about the living 和 studying situation, 特别是当你把你的课带到一个偏远的地方. 介绍文化背景. At the first meeting please mention that students are responsible for obtaining a visa if required for entry. 这对国际学生来说尤其重要. A student who needs a visa should begin the application process several months before the departure date. 学生可以联系 全球教育中心 咨询意见，但办公室不能代表学生获得签证.
• 为学生安排出发前的迎新活动. Taking a class overseas requires plenty of planning time for obtaining a passport 和 visa. 全球教育中心 can assist you with this session 和 provide the necessary student forms which 必须 be completed. (Some faculty prefer to schedule several sessions that culminate in a session shortly before departure).
• 学生健康表格 所有 academic year blocks abroad 和 semester programs students will need to complete a self-reported medical form section in their Summit application, 不迟于出发前一个街区. 夏季街区, students will need to turn in their forms by summer session orientation date (typic所有y held in mid-April). 教职员工有权查看这些医疗表格, 并且应该澄清和解决学生可能存在的任何问题, 种子, 国际SOS, 及/或无障碍资源. 关于过敏或特殊饮食, 在一些国家, 特殊的饮食限制可能不容易适应. 在问题出现之前和学生们讨论一下.
• 当学生向Summit提交申请时, 它会向学生生活办公室申请审核. 教师可以而且应该根据他们的记录来审查他们的资格.
• 通知有特殊需要或住宿的学生 必须 提前和你联系. This can avoid inconvenient surprises that may complicate the trip once you are in-country. Talk with Sara Rotunno (可访问性 Resources) if a student with special needs approaches you.
• If the course requires students bring specific clothing or equipment, distribute a packing list.
• 建议正在学习的学生, 或者可能需要, prescription drugs to bring with them a list of 所有 prescription medications (generic names) 和 instructions for their use, 医生的信，说明处方的必要性, 和 an adequate supply of medications in bottles labeled with the medication name, 病人的名字, 医生的名字, 和截止日期. 将有问题的学生介绍给国际SOS.
• 提前在事发地点附近找到优质的医生、医院和牙医. 国际SOS可以协助这一过程. 如果学生和老师住在不同的地方, they should be provided with an address list of the recommended medical facilities.
• Encourage the students not to bring ID cards, credit cards, or social security cards which they 不 需要在国外.
• Inform students of potential dangers 和/or provide them with information on how to reduce the risks involved. 想想你将如何处理可能出现的不同类型的紧急情况.
• 随时了解该国的政治和安全局势.

出发前两周

• 如果您需要从CC带来现金预支，请确保您要求资金 至少 出发前两周. 你需要向营业厅提交一份预支现金的申请. 你的部门助理应该能够帮助你.
• Since you will need to account for 所有 expenses, make sure you have a plan for keeping track. 一个小笔记本便于记录日常开支, 以防收据并不总是随时可用. 如果这是你第一次带队出国, 全球教育中心可以提供更多信息. 您也可以向商务办公室寻求帮助.
• 确定你是否需要带急救箱.
• 确认所有国内后勤安排都已到位.
• 如果你打算在国外租一辆车, make sure you have permission from CC to drive while overseas on a College sponsored trip. The 科罗拉多大学 Facilities Services department conducts Motor Vehicle Record checks prior to authorizing 司机s (see the section on Auto Insurance).
• Ensure that 所有 participants have an 国际SOS card 和 know how to use it. You can also ask the 全球教育中心 to provide a more comprehensive overview of this service.
• Ensure 所有 students acknowledge that the CC Student Code of Conduct will be enforced while overseas. 确定是否需要实施课程特定的行为准则. 如果您这样做，请留下代码的副本与 全球教育中心.
• For emergency reasons, CC requires that two adults travel with the students on 所有 blocks abroad. 向学生提供在紧急情况下如何与你们联系的信息. One adult should always be reachable 和 available 24 hours a day throughout the program. We recommend creating a w所有et-sized card with important contact information 和 distributing it to students. 包括CC校园接线员的电话号码. Another idea is to create a label with important numbers 和 stick it onto each SOS card.

出发前一周

• 留下你的紧急联系方式 和 详细的行程安排 全球教育中心.
• 到美国驻外大使馆登记 http://travelregistration.state.gov.
• Ensure 所有 students have uploaded a copy of their passport information page to Summit.
• 如果你还没有收到预付款，请与商务办公室联系.
