Passport and Visa Info

Participants are required to hold a valid U.S. passport. If you do not have a passport, apply early. This process usually takes about 4-6 weeks. A passport application can be picked up at any post office or downloaded here. Prospective students should start the passport application as soon as possible.

If you have a passport from a country other than the United States, you will need to contact the consulate of the country of your destination to ask about your specific Visa requirements.

We recommend that you sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) before embarking on your study abroad program to receive the latest travel updates and information; https://step.state.gov/step/
