Additional Information
Personal Documents
- Passport: Apply for a passport at your post office.
If you have a passport, be sure it will remain valid until your return. You can also click on Travel Information in Step 2 for Passport information.
- Visa: Some countries require a visa, an endorsement
stamped on your passport granting entry to the country. Your study abroad
advisor will tell you if a visa is required, although it is your responsibility
to obtain the visa from the U.S. consular office of the country you
will visit. You can also click on Travel Information in Step 2 for Visa ordering and other information.
- Health Insurance: Health insurance is required for
all students on ESU programs. Check with your health insurance provider
to be sure you will have major medical coverage while overseas and be
sure you know the procedure for filing a claim from overseas. If you
do not have major medical health insurance that is valid overseas, ask
at the OIE for brochures about policies designed for students studying
abroad. A Health Insurance link is also provided in Step 2 that may be able to help you.
