Program Orientation
Pre-Departure Orientation
There will be a program-specific orientation with the instructor and/or program provider at UC Davis. This orientation addresses travel, packing, academics, health and safety, and more. It also provides you the opportunity to meet with others on your program. Prior to orientation, you will receive a Program Specific Guide that will further support program preparation.
On-Site Orientation
Soon after arrival to the program destination, you will have an on-site orientation. The on-site orientation serves to introduce you to the new environment as well as provide on-site resources and support.
Travel Arrangements
You are responsible for making your own travel arrangements to the program site. Detailed instructions for making flight arrangements are sent to enrolled students via email once the program is confirmed. Wait to purchase plane tickets until you receive this email. Instructions on how to get to the program accommodations will be included in your Program Specific Guide.
If you intend to participate in another study, intern or travel program beforehand or afterward, you are responsible for your visa situation. Study Abroad can provide a verification of enrollment letter when requested.
On-Site Transportation
On-site transportation is not included in the cost of the program. Connect-123 will help students obtain local transport cards upon arrival. The estimated personal expenses in the program budget include an estimated amount for on-site transportation.
Entry Requirements for U.S. Citizens
A valid passport is required for this program. There are no visa requirements for this program.
Entry Requirements for Non-U.S. Citizens
A valid passport is required for this program. Non-U.S. citizens should check for visa and other entry requirements by contacting the consulate of their travel destination(s): Spanish Consulate in San Francisco.
You are responsible for obtaining your own visa. Study Abroad will supply a verification of enrollment or other necessary documents for non-U.S. citizens upon request.
International students in the United States on an F-1 or J-1 visa interested in studying abroad, should ensure the US visa in their passport has at least 90 days validity remaining whenever they travel abroad. If the US visa expires or is about to expire (even if the I-20 is current), students may be required to apply for the visa to their study abroad country in their home country.
Non-US citizens unable to gain access to the study abroad country will be subject to cancellation fees as shown in the cancellation schedule. For this reason, international students are highly encouraged to research entry to their destination country well in advance, and before enrolling in the program if possible.
