IDENTIFICATION

Passport-type identity photos must be official size (2"x2") and format. They must have a white background and be printed in color on photo paper. Please make sure they are cut to size before you mail them. Color copies, faxed photos, scanned photos (even scanned passport photos), or cropped informal photos cannot be accepted for passport photos. Please write your name, semester, and program on the back of all photos. They must be mailed to SIT. Be sure to let the ink dry before you put them together. These photos can commonly be taken and printed at major retailers, photo and camera shops, travel agencies, etc. They do not need to match the photo in your passport.


If you HAVE a valid passport
Check the expiration date! Make sure it is valid for at least 6 months from the end of the program. If it is not, renew your passport immediately so that you have enough time to obtain any required visas.

If you DO NOT have a valid passport
Apply for one immediately. It typically takes 10-12 weeks to obtain a passport. Depending on the visa requirements for your program, you may need to expedite your passport application. Please check with the SIT Study Abroad Admissions Office atstudyabroad@sit.edu or 888.272.7881 to see if it is necessary to expedite your application.

For more information about passports, see the U.S. Department of State passport website. If you are currently in the process of renewing your passport or are applying for a passport for the first time, please submit documentation demonstrating that your application is in process.

STUDENT ACCOUNTS

Letter of Financial Responsibility

The Letter of Financial Responsibility must be completed by the party responsible for financial matters. This form acts as a guarantee that your full account will be settled with SIT Study Abroad, including any debt incurred while abroad. In cases where home institutions are billed for tuition, the student and/or the family are still ultimately responsible for any payment not received from the home institution.

Power of Attorney Form

The Power of Attorney Form must be submitted by all students receiving financial aid through their home institution or intending to apply through SIT Study Abroad. This notarized form grants permission for a parent, guardian, or nominated attorney to sign paperwork on your behalf while abroad. Since financial aid is frequently disbursed after the program departure date, Power of Attorney allows a designated individual to handle your finances, including financial award checks. Although only required for financial aid students, many former participants have found this form helpful in simplifying their arrangements while outside the US.

All students paying for their program at least partially with Financial Aid must fill out either of the following 2 documents

Transferable Funds Information Sheet (PDF)

Required for students whose schools do not have a billing agreement with SIT Study Abroad. This is for students who pay SIT directly for all program costs rather than pay anything through the university. Check with your school if you are unsure if they have an agreement.

OR

Proof of Aid Letter (sample) (PDF)

Required for students whose schools have a billing agreement with SIT for only a portion of the SIT program costs and the student expects their home school aid to cover all or part of their portion due to SIT. Check with your school if you are unsure if they have an agreement. You must submit a signed statement on letterhead or email from the Director or Assistant Director of Student Accounts or Financial Aid indicating the amount of surplus financial aid (if any) that will be available to cover costs that your school is not paying on your behalf, the approximate date of disbursement of those funds, and the person or institution to which the funds will be disbursed. If you have any questions about this, please contact Karen Sprague (below). Emails should come directly from your school official, addressed to Karen.Sprague@sit.edu and James.Parker@sit.edu.

DEPOSIT

A non-refundable, $2,500.00 deposit is required. You can pay by check, money order or credit card.
