Preparations for your time abroad can seem daunting at times, but following our instructions can be as easy as 1, 2, 3. We even have a weekly newsletter to help you stay on top of the deadlines. You should also familiarize yourself with the booklists and other information we provide for your benefit.  It may seem like a lot, but follow our advice and you'll be on the plane in no time!

If you have any questions or concerns throughout the process, we’re here to help. We recommend you familiarize yourself with the website first so that we can better assist you, but you should always feel free to contact us.

Visa Information

Visas are not required for US or EU citizens.

Students who are not US or EU citizens may need a visa for all three countries in the program. Depending on citizenship, visa applicants may experience challenges and difficulties in obtaining the necessary visas for this program. Keep in mind that you will not be able to participate in the program if you are not in compliance with the immigration requirements, and failure to obtain a visa will not be grounds for a refund of any program fees. If you are a non-US or EU citizen, we recommend attending a  visa information session to discuss potential challenges and possible options.

Course Registration

The Office of Global Studies will register you for the actual Pharmacy 6th year course abroad.  Course enrollment for the fall will be completed by April. Any changes to your course registration must be pre-approved by your advising dean. 

Online Course Considerations:

• We are not able to register you for distance learning (online) classes taken while abroad; to register for a distance learning course, please request a priority registration number from your dean's office.
   
• Keep in mind that programs abroad begin before the semester starts in New York. Course material and book information could be announced close to or after your departure date making it difficult to obtain the book and other course material before you leave. We suggest reaching out to the professor of the online course prior to your departure to ensure you receive this information. Make sure you explain that you are studying abroad!
   
• Consider the time differences and the steps you'll need to take to ensure your assignments are submitted on-time.  

Contact us if you have any questions.
