• Passports/Visas
  • All students going abroad must have a passport that is valid for the duration of the program abroad and up to 6 months after the program end date.

  • Visas: Students accepted to study in Belgium, China, France (Rennes), Greece, Japan, Russia, Spain or Vietnam will need to obtain a student visa here in the US before the departure date for the program abroad. If you are accepted and will be going to one of these countries, we will be providing information about the compliance process to secure a visa so that you can legally enter and remain in the host country during your studies.
