Student Expectations
Academic
Students on the Hub Program are expected to maintain a high standard of academic performance and integrity while abroad. While abroad students should expect to attend all classes, complete assignments on time, and actively participate in their coursework. Students should prepare to proactively manage their time and balance academic responsibilities with their free time during the program.
Behavior
As a participant on the Hub Program, students are expected to exhibit behavior that reflects positively on themselves and Texas State University. Students should demonstrate mature, responsible, and respectful behavior at all times while on the program. This includes respecting the cultural norms of the host country, being kind to fellow students and faculty, and treating classroom and living spaces with consideration. Upholding these standards will help ensure a successful program experience for everyone involved.
Physical and Mental Health
Students on the Hub Program are expected to prioritize their physical and mental health while abroad. This includes maintaining a physically healthy lifestyle by eating well, staying hydrated, taking necessary medication, and getting enough sleep. Students should be prepared for the physical demands of their new environment, such as different climates, terrain, or levels of activity.
Equally important is prioritizing mental health while abroad. Adjusting to a new culture and environment can be hard, and it's normal for students to experience some anxiety, culture shock, or homesickness during their time abroad. Students should prepare to experience these challenges during the program and develop a plan on how best to prioritize their own mental well-being while on the program.
