General Information
Health Insurance
Students are covered under the MSU medical insurance and evacuation fee for medical care. (See above.) For more details on coverage, see http://osa.msu.edu/forms/0910_HTH_policy.pdf (PDF).
Cancellation Policy
Michigan State University College of Law reserves the right to cancel the program in the unlikely event of insufficient enrollment. Applicants will be notified of cancellation as soon as possible, but in no case later than April 25, 2012. In the unlikely event of such cancellation, there will be a full refund of tuition and activity fees, and the program coordinator will help interested students gain admission to other ABA-approved summer programs.
Travel
Students are expected to make their own air travel arrangements. Booking airfare early may help lower costs; the Office of Financial Aid can work with students to facilitate this. Also, it may be worthwhile to check student travel sites as they often offer discounted airfare. Additional details will be provided to registrants.
A valid U.S. passport (with at least six months remaining until expiration) must be provided for entry into Croatia. Students who are U.S. citizens do not need a visa to visit Croatia. Requirements for non-–U.S. citizens may vary. Students who are not U.S. citizens should investigate the parameters of entrance to Croatia for travelers from their home country.
Program Accreditation
The program has conditional approval of the American Bar Association’s Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar. Full approval is expected by the end of 2011. Michigan State University College of Law is fully accredited by the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools.
U.S. Department of State Travel Warnings
The U.S. Department of State issues current travel warnings and alerts on its website. Students will receive updates from the MSU Office of Study Abroad once they pay the $100 medical insurance and evacuation fee.
