Getting a Passport: Deadline ASAP 

If you don’t have a passport—or if your current passport expires before July 15, 2013—we advise you to apply for one immediately.

A passport is required for all Global Studies programs taking place outside the United States. We recommend that you have your passport in hand by December 1 to ensure that you are able to complete the pre-departure requirements, including obtaining a visa, if necessary. Contact us if you have questions!

Expediting your Passport

Expedited passport service is available for an additional fee. If you need your passport within 14 days, you can visit the passport expediting agency in Manhattan. They can process your passport in as little as 24 hours (exact time depends on the situation). In order to take advantage of this process, you'll need to stop by our office to pick up a Passport Expedition Letter. Then, visit the Department of State’s passport information website for information on how to schedule an appointmentfor a rush passport and what you need to bring with you to submit your application. If you have any questions about how to make sure you get your passport in time, contact our officeas soon as possible.
