Admissions decisions will be made on a rolling basis according to the dates listed below.  Because spaces are usually filled well before the published deadlines, applicants should apply early.

Fall program -- applications will be reviewed beginning January 1 with a final deadline of March 15.

Spring program-- applications will be reviewed beginning August 1 with a final deadline of October 1.

Comprehensive fee (Courtesy pricing):

The baseline comprehensive fee (Fall 09 and Spring 10) is 25,515. The Rome Campus does not provide need-based financial aid for Visiting Students. Instead, we are pleased to offer visiting students a courtesy deduction of $3000 from the comprehensive fee.

The comprehensive fee covers tuition, room, most meals (Please see admission letter for complete listing of meals for that semester), required Italian health insurance, a Rome bus and metro pass, insurance for internships, museum fees, and the academic excursions.

The fee does not cover travel to and from the program, books, studio-arts course supplies, or personal expenses. Participants make their own travel arrangements.



Nuts and bolts: Payment schedule: A nonrefundable $500 deposit toward the comprehensive fee is due upon acceptance of admission. The balance is due in early August (for Fall students) and mid-December (for Spring students).

Students must communicate acceptance within three weeks of admission to the program. Upon acceptance, each student must pay the deposit and return the signed legal release agreement.

Each participant is required to have (a) a passport that is valid at least six months beyond the end date of the program and (b) a student visa. The passport is required for the visa application. Therefore any participant without a suitably valid passport must obtain one immediately upon acceptance of admission to the program. Instructions for obtaining or renewing a passport may be found at http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html. Instructions for obtaining a visa will be provided after acceptance of admission to the program. Orientation materials are provided to participants prior to departure.

Students must enroll full-time: a minimum of four course credits, a maximum of 5.5 course credits. Every student must enroll in a course in Italian language or literature in Italian.

Exceptions to established charges cannot be granted.
