Passports
A valid passport is required for all course
abroad programs. The expiration date of the passport should be at least
six months beyond the intended date of return travel.
Information on how to obtain or renew a
U.S. passport may be found on the State Department’s website at
www.travel.state.gov/passport/index.html.
Individuals who travel on a foreign
passport should contact their country’s nearest consulate or embassy to
obtain information on replacing or renewing their passport. A listing of
the foreign consulates and embassies in the U.S. can be found on the web
at:

Visas
In cases where U.S. citizens are required to have a visa to travel
to a Course Abroad destination, the CIE will collect individual
passports and send them together as a group to obtain the required visa
from the Consulate/Embassy. Students who do not submit their
passport when requested will be required to obtain their own visa, at
additional personal cost. Course Abroad participants who travel on
passports issued by other countries are responsible: (1) for determining
whether a visa is necessary; and (2) for applying for the required visa
in a timely manner. |
