The CAPA Student Advising team is the principal contact for our students, providing academic, internship, and life counseling, as well as general guidance and support.

Students receive a first-night pack on arrival, including information on telephoning home, changing money, safety and emergency numbers, and a map.

Students receive comprehensive on-site orientations that incorporate focused messages on safety, health, legal, environmental, political, cultural, and religious conditions in the host country. These orientations cover health and safety issues, potential health and safety risks, and appropriate emergency response measures. CAPA provides all participants with comprehensive information regarding available medical and professional services abroad, including those catering to emotional needs and specialized care.

Academic Advocacy

CAPA advisers will liaise with designated faculty to arrange academic counseling for students who are experiencing difficulties in any of their courses and feel that they could benefit from extra help.

Personal Growth

CAPA encourages students to take responsibility for themselves and their actions, to share and examine values, to make responsible decisions, and to form mature relationships.

Liaison with Home Campus

CAPA's goal is to act as an extension of your home campus. CAPA will remain in contact with the home campus throughout the program, keeping them aware of student and faculty progress.

Decisions on major issues, such as health and safety, student conduct, and program disruption, will be made in partnership with the home campus.
