FAQs

Course Info

Expand
titleI've already taken ECP 6705. May I still attend?

Unfortunately, no.


Expand
titleWill I complete the entire class on the trip?

No. You will complete about half of the class during the trip. The other half will be completed after.

Covid-19

Expand
titleIs the Covid-19 vaccine required to attend?

We will be under the rules of the countries that we are traveling to/within, so it is very possible that a vaccination card will have to be presented in order to travel to these countries. This is not a UWF policy or even a state of FL policy but could be the policies of the countries. We will update everyone as we know more. 


Expand
titleWill the trip be canceled due to Covid-19?

Unfortunately, we can't be 100% certain. We will continue with trip planning and preparation, while regularly monitoring changes caused by Covid-19. You will be notified of any changes that may impact this trip.


Expand
titleWill I be refunded if the trip is canceled?

If you make payments and the trip is canceled, you will be refunded.

Financial Aid

Expand
titleCan I use my military benefits (TA)?

Please direct questions related to using military benefits to the Military & Veterans Resource Center (MVRC)
