Parents of students currently studying abroad or considering doing so have many questions about programs, opportunities and security. We hope that the information provided on this web site can be of help.

If your son or daughter participates on or is interested in a Colby program, you can read specific information here. If your son or daughter is a participant on a program approved - but not administered - by Colby, you can connect directly to the program's web site through Part IV of our Handbook of Off-Campus Study Opportunities. If you have concerns about safety and security, you can view a variety of documents, including Colby's emergency plan, that will provide information on how we handle situations of potential risk. For more information, please feel free to e-mail our office: Off-Campus Study
