For travel subsidy students, the travel agent will arrange group international air travel from a designated departure airport. The departure airport is determined by the availability and cost of the tickets at the time they are reserved. Students are responsible for arriving at the designated airport of departure, as domestic travel is the student’s responsibility.

Students who wish to organize their own air itinerary will not be eligible for the subsidy. Students must arrive at the airport (of their study abroad site) at the designated time of arrival, particularly on Kalamazoo programs, because that is when airport pick up will be arranged. Note: for students on 3 quarter programs the airline reservation system does not allow for a return date beyond one-year of ticket issuance date. Therefore, travel subsidy students on 3 quarter programs will need to notify the travel agent of their return date by December 31st. All other 3 quarter students will need to make their own arrangements with their air carrier.
