U.S. Passport: You do not need a passport to apply to participate in a study abroad trip. However, all participants traveling on any study abroad trip are required to have valid passports. Obtaining a passport is your responsibility and the passport application fee is NOT included in the comprehensive fee quoted. Beacuse it might take long to develop a passport, we recommend that you apply immediately. To participate in a study abroad program, you must have your passport at least three months before the travel dates. If you already possess a passport please check when it expires and make sure that its expiration date is NOT earlier than 6 months before the program travel dates.
To obtain a passport, you will need the following (more information about obtaining a passport and application forms may be found at http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html ):
- Proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate, expired passport, proof of naturalization).
- Current identification (driver’s license, government I.D. card or document that bears your signature).
- Two photographs – identical, passport-quality, front-view photos cut exactly to the measurements required on the passport application.
