Submit your flight form.

The University of Dallas Rome Program has arranged a group flight organized by Travel Leaders. 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.

Don't forget to review these flight facts. 

Apply for a student visa. 

All students studying in Italy for an extended period of time must apply for a student visa. The visa application and affidavit of financial support must be submitted to the Rome Office on October 16 along with student's actual passports, passport photos and purchased flight itinerary. This affidavit must be notarized and mailed to the office. Students must also submit an online address form to inform our office when they will need their passport and will be traveling internationally over the break. Questions? Follow these instructions.
