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.
