Visas and Passports
PASSPORTS
A passport is a travel document that functions as an official form of identification and allows the bearer to enter and depart most foreign countries. To participate in any University sponsored travel program, you must have a passport that is signed and valid for at least 6 months after the scheduled end date of the program.

VISAS
A visa is an endorsement sticker or stamp that is inserted by consular officials of a foreign country into a passport. This endorsement legally authorizes the bearer to visit, study, reside, or work in that foreign country for a period of time. It is always your responsibility to obtain the required visas before departing for your program.
