Summer Programs
Summer 2021 study abroad has been suspended by CUNY due to the pandemic. A phased restart of study abroad programming will be announced by CUNY with the approval of New York State as soon as conditions permit. Please check our homepage website for updates.
Travel is currently suspended for all activities related to study abroad- whether CUNY or non-CUNY programs. Enrollment in non-CUNY study abroad programs is highly discouraged at this time and cannot be authorized in advance. Any credits earned on such programs cannot be transferred back, students are not eligible for CUNY travel insurance, and financial aid can not be used towards any study abroad programming.” Visit Global CUNY for more details.
