Students going on a spring short-term program need to make sure their passport is valid through at least late November of the same year. US passport holders who need to renew their passport should visit the U.S. Department of State's passport website for information on this process. Non-US passport holders who need to renew their passport should refer to their home country's passport office. Visa Information If you are a US citizen, you most likely will not require a visa for your spring short-term abroad program. If you do, details will be shared with you by GPS. Non-US passport holders should check with their host country's embassy or consulate to find out if a visa is required for their program or not.
