Enroll in STEP program (not required but highly recommended)
STEP is a free service for U.S. citizens traveling or living abroad to receive safety and security alerts and other local updates by email from the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. In the event of an emergency, STEP makes it easier for the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to contact you with recommended actions.
The updated STEP platform allows users to use a login.gov account to customize subscriptions and receive country-specific alerts during the timeframe of their choice. Users can now enroll multiple trips or locations at once and can modify subscriptions or unsubscribe at any time.
Ongoing Steps
You should maintain contact with UWF International Affairs as well as the faculty program director, host institution or study abroad provider for your program. You may receive updates and information for your program from these contacts in addition to communication from UWF International Affairs.
