Resources for Parents, Families, and Supporters

Every student who studies at Susquehanna will study off-campus, either abroad or domestically, in a cross-cultural environment. Your support is vital as your student prepares to study away. Students may:

• GO Long with a semester-length program in one of several locations around the globe
• GO Short with a two-to-six-week faculty/staff-led program during winter or summer break
• GO Your Way during winter or summer break taking courses, completing an internship/volunteer work, or a self-designed immersion experience 

While your student is an excellent resource to discuss their study away program of choice, we understand parents have many questions for the GO Program. In this section, you will find: 

• Health and Safety FAQ for Parents, Families and Supporters
  • Information regarding insurance
• Parents, Families, and Supporters Guide to SU Study Away
  • GO Long Next Steps - Information for Families
  • Pre-departure session information for Parents, Families and Supporters
  • What to do in case of an emergency for Parents, Families and Supporters
• How your student can add a cc-email so you can be copied on e-mails from GO

Information about each program is shared under the program type tabs and program-specific online brochures. We also encourage you to reference the student resources while your student is deciding on a program and getting ready to GO. Information particular to your students' confirmed program will be shared directly with your student, and they will have the most up-to-date information.
