Commitment to Study Abroad Participants
Elizabethtown College is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination and sexual misconduct whether students are at the College or abroad, and to responding to these issues quickly, fairly and equitably. Study abroad participants are expected to follow Elizabethtown policies as well those of their study abroad programs and host countries. Violations of these policies may result in sanctions both at the College and at your host institution.
