UIC Community Standards and Expectations Abroad

As a UIC student studying abroad, you will not only be representing yourself, but also be seen as a representative for our university and U.S. students at large. You are encouraged to take this responsibility seriously by respecting the host country’s cultural norms and laws and representing UIC and our country positively.

While abroad, you remain a UIC student and, accordingly, are subject to the same community standards that apply to students on campus. In addition to respecting UIC’s community standards while abroad, there are other Study Abroad Office policies that you are asked to adhere to as a condition of your participation on a study abroad program. Students who do not respect the community standards and policies of their program will be subject to disciplinary action, which could include removal from a program at their own expense. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with these standards and the policies found on this page.

We believe that UIC students can represent and promote our university and country positively. We thank you for your efforts in doing so while abroad.
