Interested in studying abroad?  Then you'll need a passport!

All study abroad participants will need a current, valid passport in order to travel internationally.  If you have a passport, you should double check that it is valid through at least six months beyond the end date of your program.  If it expires before then, you should renew your passport as soon as possible.  If you do not already have a passport, you should also apply for one as soon as possible.
 
For any needing to apply for or renew a passport, you may want to consider paying the additional fees for expedited service, especially if you are planning to study abroad for the upcoming term.  Please be advised that passport processing is currently very delayed, and it’s important to allow enough time to receive your passport and apply for a student visa if necessary.
