As part of the UT Study Abroad’s initiatives to reinstate student mobility to Mexico, conditional approval was received from the International Oversight Committee (http://world.utexas.edu/risk/ioc) for two sites in Mexico for one year starting in May 2013. The programs are open to students from all colleges and schools:
1. Exchange Option (summer, fall & spring) – Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) in the city of Querétaro
2. Affiliate Option (summer, fall & spring) – Institute for Study Abroad, Butler University (IFSA) in the city of Mérida
In order for students to be eligible for these programs, they must attend an International Travel Workshop on the following dates:
1. February 7, 2013 from 4:30 – 6 pm
2. February 22, 2013 from 4:30 – 6 pm
This will be an opportunity for prospective and enlisted students to ask questions, learn about health & safety, and other concerns associated with travel to Mexico, before final program deadlines for Summer 2013 and Fall 2013, which are February 15th and March 1st respectively.
