IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING COVID-19 & REQUIREMENTS (updated 9/10/21)

Given the ever-evolving nature of COVID-19 circumstances and our aim to ensure that all program participants have a unique, unforgettable, immersive, and safe time abroad, AIFS, our service provider, and SBCC require that all program participants (students, faculty leaders, spouses alike) be fully vaccinated prior to their departure to Ireland.

In addition, if you are planning on traveling outside of Ireland, please keep in mind that the majority of European citizens are now fully vaccinated, and local regulations provide the freedom to explore, learn, travel, and partake in the unique cultural experiences we have offered for many years. In most cases, however, these freedoms apply solely to fully-vaccinated individuals (or those who have recently recovered from COVID-19). Non-vaccinated individuals must present a negative test (sometimes a PCR test) for all activities in some countries. In most cases, these official tests are only valid for 24 hours, time consuming, and are at the individual鈥檚 expense.

Some countries have stricter regulations, declaring that only vaccinated or recovered people can participate in indoor activities (for example, restaurant and museums visits), and a negative test will not be sufficient for entry.

All program participants deserve a transformational academic experience abroad and should be permitted equal access to all elements of their international program.

Non-vaccinated participants would be required to take a test every 24 hours, have a higher risk of being quarantined, and may not be allowed to join activities that are part of the program and comprehensive study abroad experience they paid for.

Service Provider: SBCC teams with service provider AIFS. The American Institute for Foreign Study was founded in 1964 and since then, over 1.6 million students have participated in their educational and cultural exhange programs. AIFS has pioneered Customized Faculty-Led programs providing logistical support, student services, classrooms, housing facilities and cultural activities abroad, plus student medical, fee refund and liability insurance.
