INTERNATIONAL INTERNSHIPS

ADDITIONAL ADVISORY INFORMATION

Students should review their health insurance coverage for their intended stay abroad. As part of their application, students are required to provide a medical emergency contact, and all information about their health, allergies or medications that may be necessary.

All expenses, such as travel, housing, and living costs, are the applicant's responsibility. Students must carefully calculate their finances before accepting a placement. Hosts may be generous and kind, but an applicant cannot rely on any assistance from a host in advance. SULS and CILS make no claims or affirmations to applicants otherwise.

The student recognizes that there may be risks involved on the trip. The nature of the risks may not always be readily ascertainable. Students are advised to monitor political developments that may affect their internship. Please review travel advisories at http://travel.state.gov/travel/index.html before and throughout your stay abroad. Suffolk University is not prepared to analyze or make judgments of these risks for the student, nor is Suffolk University financially able to assume liability or legal responsibility for any damages suffered by a student arising out of any activities on the trip. In addition, the University's general liability policy covers only employees of the University and does not extend to students. Therefore, students are wholly responsible for their own actions. The University will not provide coverage for any damage they may cause to others.

WORK VISA INFORMATION

Participants are expected to contact their host firms once a placement has been accepted to verify if there are any special work visa documents to be completed by the firm or the participant.

Generally, U.S. passport holders may enter as a tourist. Participants not holding a U.S. passport are especially encouraged to contact their host firm for work visa information.
