Attendance
Attendance at all course meetings and intercultural travel is required.

Application
Students must apply to a program. Acceptance is awarded on a rolling admissions system; please apply as early as possible to ensure your place in a program

University Transcript
First year students are welcome to apply to our programs. They must provide a University transcript before they will be formally accepted.

Foreign language is not required on most courses unless indicated in the course description

Travel Preparation
Students are responsible for all travel preparation for their program. That may include obtaining a passport, visa(s), medical insurance, purchasing a plane ticket, and getting immunizations

Amizade Policies

Tuition and Fees
Students must provide payment of all fees and tuition bills in accordance with established deadlines.

Student Expectations
While the Amizade recognizes that everyone has limitations and that rest is essential to a productive experience, that recognition is balanced with the expectation that students are committed to intercultural service-learning as a continuous experience throughout the length of the course.
