NOTE: Students should not schedule any mid-semester trips before the semester begins since classes and program events are always subject to change. Travel is not a valid excuse for missing class. 

Early Arrival and Delayed Departure

Students are welcome to arrive in Rome before the program starts and stay beyond the end of the program, but will have to find their own accommodations. However, students should not plan to stay more than 90 days either before or after the dates that their visa is valid since that is against Italian law and could have serious repercussions. In addition, students may not be able to travel outside of Italy beyond the dates of the program, depending on the rules of the desired destination. Non-U.S. citizens should check the Italian and European immigration rules for their country.
