- For a campus-related issue: call the emergency number of the host partner institution.
- For an academic issue:听contact your supervisor or faculty advisor.

- In the event of a change to "Avoid non-essential travel" or "Avoid all travel" , check your McGill email and send an "I'm okay" through the McGill Student Travel Registry. McGill Abroad听will reach out to you to check if you are safe.鈥�
- Always remain vigilant of your surroundings at all times and follow the advice of local authorities.
- Remember that as a McGill student, you have access to GuardMe, a 24/7 international counselling and crisis support program.
Travel Advisories
|
A risk level is the Government of Canada鈥檚 official measure of the safety and security of a destination, country or region. There are four possible risk levels:
|
|
Regional Advisories: Risk levels may also include regional advisories. In such cases, the country may be listed 鈥淓xercise normal security precautions鈥� or听鈥淓xercise a high degree of caution鈥� but contain areas within that are under a higher risk advisory. It is important to research your destination and confirm that you will not be travelling to any internal areas with an 鈥淎void non-essential travel鈥� advisory, without an approved McGill travel exemption, or any areas listed as 鈥淎void all travel鈥�. Regional advisories can be issued for regions, provinces, districts, cities, neighbourhoods, specific infrastructure, border areas, or proximity to certain areas of instability. If there is a regional proximity advisory at your destination, you must be sure that you are not within the stated distance for university sanctioned听activities. |
