The university arranges a group flight which provides planning convenience, allows students to travel together, and offers the services of a travel agent if plans are required to change. Students will rendezvous in a hub city on flights from their hometown airports, which will be arranged by the Rome Office from the information you provide on your flight form and will be calculated into the cost of your ticket.
Students with a good reason for not flying with the group may request a waiver of the group flight requirement. A complete waiver requires submission of the waiver form along with a copy of the student’s tentative itinerary with complete flight information and travel details. Students should not purchase any airline tickets until their waiver has been approved.
Please review these flight facts for complete details on flight procedures for Rome.
Students registering for the Rome semester must follow the registration guidelines included in their registration meeting packet. All registration forms including online registration for courses are due April 27. Registration forms include:
Supplemental health paperwork needed for Rome Clearance is due July 29 and August 21. Students will be informed if supplemental paperwork is required.
Students must be clear with all offices on campus before they depart for Rome. The clearance date for Rome is set earlier than the regular Irving clearance date. Students are encouraged to begin working on their clearance as soon as they are able to make sure everything is taken care. Students not clear by the July 29 deadline will be assessed a $500 late fine.
