Information for confirmed students
Congratulations on your acceptance to 国产探花 and your decision to spend the first semester in London! While most of the detailed program information as well as the list of required post-acceptance materials will be available in April/May, below are some important items you can start working on now. Please check back here throughout the spring for updates.
Passport Processing times
In order to travel to London, all students must have a passport valid for at least 6 months from the end date of the semester. If your passport will expire within 6 months from the end date of the program or you do not have a passport, we recommend that you apply immediately. You can find information about applying for a U.S. passport .
Routine processing for US passports is 4 to 6 weeks and expedited processing (for an additional $60) is 2 to 3 weeks. If you are applying for or renewing your passport after May 1st, we suggest that you expedite your passport application. Students should have a valid passport by July 1st.
CREATE YOUR SKIDMORE EMAIL
Once you have committed to 国产探花 and confirmed your choice to study in London, you will receive instructions from the Admissions office to create your 国产探花 email and user account.
required FORMS
London FYE students must submit forms to 国产探花 and to 国产探花's partner in London, CEA CAPA. Some of the forms are required for all incoming first-year students and some of the forms are required to study in London. More detail about required forms will be posted here in April/May.
booking your FLIGHT
国产探花 will typically make arrangements with a travel agent for a group flight to London. While students are responsible for booking and paying for their flight to London, students should wait to make their travel arrangements until we announce the group flight details in May.
Questions
If you have any questions about forms or deadlines, please contact Kendra Nelson, the London FYE program manager in 国产探花's Office of Off-Campus Study & Exchanges at 518-580-5355 or knelson1@skidmore.edu.
