• PASSPORT REQUIREMENT: Students should have a valid passport in hand with an expiration date 6 months after the end date of the program by the program application deadline.
  • If a student does not have a valid passport in hand, they should have already submitted a passport application and requested expedited service.

Italian Immigration Requirements:

After students are committed to the Rome Campus they will work with the Rome Adviser to apply for and obtain an Italian study visa (This is not needed for students with a valid passport issued by a country in the Schengen Area). Below are a few important visa requirements to be aware of early.

• All students must apply in person at an Italian Consulate.
• Students must have a valid passport in hand by the application deadline.
• Students should not plan international travel between the program application deadline and the program start date.
• Financial requirement: The Italian Government requires students have sufficient funds for the duration of their time in Italy. Students must have a personal checking or savings account. The required funds available in that account fluctuates but historically it is recommended that students have at least $5,500 in the account by September 2025. If this is not possible, please contact the Rome Campus Adviser to determine alternative options.
• Students must have a valid state ID. International students will work with the Rome Campus Adviser if they do not have this.
• It is important that the students name on all documents submitted for the Italian visa match the students legal name on their passport.
• International students must have a valid US visa with an expiration date 90 days after their departure from Italy.
