Safety
Relations between the U.S. and Croatia are solid. The U.S. established diplomatic relations with Croatia in 1992. Traveling in Croatia is generally safe and is highly rated for its safety index. Visitors of Croatia seldom face any severe threat during their stay in the country. 

Health
All participants will be provided with international health insurance through RIT's provider, On Call. On Call offers assistance in finding local medical providers, coordinating illness/medical issues (including translation services if needed), medical care coverage, doctor/hospital visits, and emergency evacuation due to accident, illness, or safety reasons. Croatia's healthcare system is reliable, and Dubrovnik is served by a main hospital, many walk-in clinics, and pharmacies.

COVID-19
The outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) has disrupted travel around the world. RIT's emergency response team closely monitors the outbreak of COVID-19, with students'  health and safety as our highest priority. RIT Global Risk Management regularly receives travel briefings and travel warnings from our global security consult agency, On Call. In addition, RIT follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and the State Department travel warnings and guidelines to further evaluate and assess risk.

Students participating in the RSC program are required to have received a COVID-19 vaccine. Acceptable vaccines include those approved for use in the U.S., accepted by the US Food and Drug Administration, or on the World Health Organization Emergency Use List (EUL).

Additional information related to COVID-19 impacting the program can be found in the FAQ section.

Before departure to Croatia, you will attend a required pre-departure orientation, which includes health and safety preparedness and emergency response information and resources (parents may also participate).
