Rice Crisis Management

Dear members of the Rice community:

Due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 situation -- including health risks associated with travel and studying abroad as well as current global travel restrictions and shelter-in-place directives around the world -- we must cancel all undergraduate international programs scheduled before the first day of classes of the fall semester.  

This cancellation includes Rice Study Abroad programs, faculty-led programs, CLIC in-country programs, and the travel components of other academic programs (such as those run by the Center for Civic Leadership).  We are also not permitting student participation in third-party provider study abroad programs.  Questions about the cancellation of summer session undergraduate international travel experiences should be directed to the dean of undergraduates (ugdean@rice.edu).
