In order to participate in BMCC Study Abroad Programs, students must abide by the instructions and policies outlined in the forms below. Signed copies of these forms must be submitted by the deadlines indicated in your admissions email. Students are also required to attend a pre-departure orientation.
If there is an issue in meeting a deadline, the student must reach out to jlevin@bmcc.cuny.edu at least one week before the deadline to request an extension.

- Health Forms – admitted students will need to make an appointment with their primary care provider
- Request for Special Accommodations (if needed):
- Students may request special accommodations or academic adjustments to participate in a study abroad program. After admission, the student must provide a letter from their campus Office of Accessibility (or Student Disability Office) detailing the accommodation(s) needed. See BMCC’s Office of Accessibility
- If a program cannot meet a student’s needs, BMCC Study Abroad will try to help the student find an alternate study abroad program. BMCC is committed to providing equal access to all programs and curricula to all students, but as a result of the absence of an equivalent law as the ADA (American with Disabilities Act of 1990), students with disabilities may not be able to find proper accommodations and facilities at the host institution, residence or hotel used by a study abroad program in the country to be visited.
