Pre-trip Plans:
Please note that the school year ends on Monday, May 26th and this trip begins that same day.
Post-trip Plans:
Please note that this trip ends on June 6th when the students arrive at the Dubrovnik, Croatia Airport (DBV). Students are estimated to arrive at the Newark Liberty Airport (EWR) at 4:35PM on June 6th. Families should plan for this accordingly and as you see in the form, there are a few options:
• The student’s family or friend of the family can pick them up at the airport.
• The student can fly to another city to meet their family or friend of the family.
If you decide on the final option, it is important to start planning for this now and ensure that students have enough time between when the group lands at EWR and when their next flight takes off. Things to consider are potential delays, customs and immigration, baggage claim, and possible terminal transfers. We recommend contacting the airlines directly to ensure appropriate layover times (taking into account the possibility of delays). If you have questions or require help with this process, please let us know.
The remaining balance of the program fee will be billed to your student account on December 11, 2024, and due in full by January 1, 2025.
Please contact the Finance Office at [email protected] with any questions or the Center for Service and Global Citizenship via email [email protected] or phone: 413-774-1435.
