Safety Abroad for Brock Faculty

As Brock continues to expand its global reach, the well-being of our community remains a top priority. Here are some resources to help you stay safe while you engage in international learning programs.

Download the International SOS App

Brock University has partnered with International SOS (ISOS), the world’s largest medical and travel security service firm, to provide Brock students, staff and faculty with medical, safety and security advice, referrals and emotional support when traveling or living abroad.

Why download the app?

With the ISOS app, you will have 24/7 access to:

  • Medical advice from a worldwide network of doctors and nurses
  • Referrals to local medical professionals wherever you are in the world
  • Emotional support while traveling
  • Safety and security advice
  • Notifications of emergency/security situations or disruptions that may arise where you are traveling so you can plan around them

Instructions on how to register for ISOS under Brock’s membership will be provided to students once they are confirmed participants of an exchange or study abroad program.

Faculty Travelling Abroad
