Safety
Abroad
Student
safety abroad is a primary concern of the Junior Year in Munich
program. Safety and security issues are discussed during Orientation,
alng with emergency contact information and instructions. Particular
attention is given again to safety shortly before the two-month
semester break begins, since many students take advantage of this
period to travel extensively throughout Europe and beyond.
Whereas
it is not JYM policy, nor is it possible for JYM to monitor our
students' travel itineraries during the semester break, we do require
JYM students to inform us of their general plans in case we need
to get in contact with them.
The
Detroit and Munich Offices of the Junior Year in Munich monitor
the Travel Warnings and Consular Information Sheets published by
the U.S. Department of State, and disseminate this information to
JYM students.
The
Junior Year in Munich is registered with the U.S. Consulate in Munich
and we are always in close contact with Consulate officials. Although
not necessary, JYM students may register individually with the U.S.
Consulate in Munich if they wish to do so.
Please
be aware that the Privacy Act requires U.S. citizens over the age
of 18 to provide a Privacy Act waiver before the U.S. Consulate
can release any information about them to third parties, including
their parents.
