Guidance for Study Abroad Decision-Making During COVID
2022年春季出国留学的决定与东道国的COVID-19大流行趋势密切相关, 以及东道国和东道国机构/组织对这些问题的反应.
The pandemic is clearly not over; some countries are experiencing new pandemic waves. Where the pandemic is seemingly under control, 入境限制可能是为了限制疫情卷土重来的可能性. In countries where study abroad students are welcome, 当大流行情况需要时，可以在线授课. 或者，相比之下，出国留学经历可能与前几年没有什么变化。. In short, the picture is mixed.
我们强烈鼓励学生和监护人查看以下资源，并在知情的情况下决定是否参加.

On the positive side
- 伯洛伊特学院现在的海外留学合作大学和机构经验丰富 帮助确保大流行病下教育的连续性和安全性. 许多公司在其网站上发布并定期更新他们正在采取的措施的信息.
- 留学组织对此做了广泛的研究和分析 了解在哪些条件下出国留学可以预期是相当安全的.
- 有关入境要求和当地COVID-19协议和规则的信息 are now available on the websites of US embassies in countries around the world.
- 在国外学习的学生将完全接种COVID-19疫苗减少了对他们的风险，尽管如果不小心，他们可能会感染其他人. However, 出国留学的学生将熟练遵守COVID-19安全协议, such as social distancing; wearing face masks indoors and, where social distancing is not possible, outdoors; washing hands; and avoiding large gatherings and crowded areas.
Study Abroad Risk Analysis
Most are identical to CDC levels. However, 人道主义事务部正在开始新一轮分析，以考虑到东道国的安全和保障以及卫生保健质量和卫生保健能力等因素.
美国气象局发布的警报级别是为了提醒观众阅读实际的警报. The safety & 安全科和卫生科与出国留学特别相关. 因此，请定期查看适用于您的课程的最新信息的通知.
Questions to Consider
跟踪目标所在国有关COVID-19旅行规定的信息. This interactive map, updated regularly, makes this easy to do.
You are also advised to consult the COVID-19 information on the U.S. Embassy website for the country in which you are planning to study abroad. U.S. 大使馆已被授权发布有关入境要求和访客必须遵守的规定的信息, 例如，在访问该国期间不得往返于其他国家. For example, here are resources from the U.S. Embassy in the United Kingdom.
In most if not all cases, 您需要在出发前不久提供COVID-19阴性检测证明，或由执业医生出具的证明您在出发前90天内已从COVID-19中康复的文件.
Yes. 伯洛伊特学院要求你在出国留学前接种疫苗即使东道国和/或东道国大学或项目没有强制要求接种疫苗.
The Beloit College Health and Wellness Center 是否会对2022年春季计划出国留学的所有学生进行疫苗接种检查.
- U.S. embassy websites
- Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
- 哈佛大学全球流行病COVID风险水平仪表板
- Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
- World Health Organization
- Host country public health information
Specific information in US State Department Travel Advisories 是否可以帮助潜在的旅行者了解在发布警告级别时该国特有的风险, as well as evaluate the personal tolerance of risk. 这些警告数字是为了提醒旅行者查看警告文本, and in particular, the sections devoted to safety and security and to health.
DOS承认其新的分类系统令人困惑, and that its advisories are just that: advisory, but neither prescriptive nor binding. However, DOS is slowly beginning to do new analysis. In the meantime, further confusing the picture, 看似不同的国家被分配到了相同的水平. Or, a country widely considered unsafe for travel, such as Sudan, is classified as Level 3, 虽然这个国家通常被认为是安全的，并且以其医疗质量而闻名, such as Finland, is classified as Level 4. To “unpack” advisories, consider the information on safety & securing and on health for Finland and Sudan.
疾病预防控制中心的咨询水平尚未考虑到目的地国家的疫苗接种率, nor quality of healthcare and healthcare capacity.
因此，伯洛伊特学院将继续使用DOS和CDC的旅行建议作为指南, but will also consult information from other sources, including those listed under number 3 above, 以及由值得信赖的留学合作机构和接收机构/国家进行的新冠肺炎分析.
This interactive map and the U.S. Embassy COVID-19 information 可以帮助回答这个问题的一部分，但你还需要确定:
- Can I get a visa (if needed?)
- Can I book a flight?
Yes. Health insurance is required for all study abroad，并且必须包括医疗后送和遣返的保险.
Note, however, 留学医疗保险不包括因COVID-19造成的非卫生紧急中断而导致的旅行, such as flight cancellations or changes in academic calendar.
To prepare, seek answers to the following questions:
- 我在哪里可以在你的接收院校/机构的网站上找到相关信息.
- Will I need to quarantine for 2 weeks? And if yes, will I need to pay to do so?
- How will instruction be delivered?
- Will the courses I want to take be available?
- How will I eat?
- How will I access healthcare if needed?
- What kind of freedom of movement will I have?
- How can I ask for help if I need it?
