COVID-19 UPDATE: FALL 2020 WORLDWIDE PROGRAM SUSPENSION
The coronavirus outbreak throughout the world has raised concerns amongst students, families, staff, and faculty. The safety of our students is our priority and CSU IP has been monitoring the situation surrounding COVID-19 closely.
As we look to Fall 2020, CSU IP has made the difficult decision to suspend all Fall 2020 study abroad and incoming exchange programs. As we know this is disappointing news for many of our students, CSU IP intends to work closely with our applicants, CSU campus advisors, and partners to help students plan for study abroad opportunities offered in the future.
