Safety

The Off Campus Activity Safety Policy is approved by the Board of Trustees and encompasses activities such as Semester Abroad Programs. All undergraduate students participating in an activity that requires them to cross an international boarder are immediately deemed high risk and are therefore required to complete OCASP Form 1. Consequently, all students who travel to Shanghai as part of the DEVS Semester Abroad Programme at Fudan are required to submit an OCASP Form 1. Failure to complete Form 1, prior to your departure date, will void your exchange to Fudan, and academic credit will not be awarded for courses taken in violation of OCASP. 

In order for the Director of Global Development Studies to assess the risks associated with the Fudan program, completion of the Form 1 must meet the following minimum requirements: 

1. You must attend a pre-departure training session organized by the International Centre. http://quic.queensu.ca
    
2. You must access the following websites to identify specific risks and the means by which the associated risks can be appropriately managed.
   a.) The Foreign Affairs Canada (FAC) on-line Travel Report http://www.voyage.gc.ca/countries_pays/menu-eng.asp
   b.) The World Health Organisation’s website http://www.who.int/en/ paying particular attention to Disease Outbreaks and Emergencies, as well as Health Canada’s “Information for Travellers” page ( http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/tmp-pmv/index.html ) 
    
3. You must provide evidence that you have considered the personal medical risks associated with the Fudan program including requirements for immunization and health insurance.
