To the University:

After much careful consideration of the welfare of students, and in light of the ongoing international uncertainties of travel and safety due to the COVID-19, Montclair State has made the difficult decision to cancel international study abroad programs for the Spring 2021 semester.

We have been planning and preparing, optimistically, for a resumption of study abroad in the spring; however, it is now clear that there is too much uncertainty and likelihood of disruption to support moving forward with spring international programs.  Though spring travel is still a few months away, it would now be time to begin collecting non-refundable deposits and asking students to make spring schedule commitments which would preclude them from registering for spring courses at home. The timing of this decision will allow students to prepare for a spring semester fully at Montclair State.

This decision specifically impacts our short-term faculty-led programs that are scheduled to travel during spring break (March 8-14) as well as spring semester-long study abroad programs.

At this time, Montclair State has not cancelled the National Student Exchange programs, domestic exchanges with institutions within the United States, and we will continue to monitor the situation for those programs very closely and will provide additional guidance over the next several weeks, prior to deposit deadlines, on domestic travel to study at other institutions in the U.S.

We remain open-minded about possibilities for the Summer study abroad and those decisions will be announced early in the Spring semester.  Montclair State remains committed to supporting student participation in study abroad and international experiences and encourages students to consider study abroad in a future term.
