To Our Wayne State University Community,
 

The coronavirus (COVID-19) has created a great deal of uncertainty and disruption in several countries around the world. Among the impacts are disruptions to international travel.
 

Out of an abundance of caution and because of the high degree of uncertainty about how the disease is spreading and our inability to control events on the ground in different countries, we have decided to suspend our Wayne State University spring break study abroad programs for this semester.
 

Participating students will not be impacted financially or academically, and we will work with our faculty to ensure that students receive full credit for their courses. This was a difficult decision, but one made with the best interest, safety and well-being of the students and faculty in mind. Students or faculty with questions can email the Office of Study Abroad or call 313-577-3207.
 

We will continue to follow the U.S. Department of State and the CDC guidelines regarding other travel restrictions and will post ongoing updates on the situation on the Wayne State coronavirus update page.
