Arriving on a flight separate from the group is not recommended. Students arriving independently will find their own way to Salamanca and go directly to the home of their host family.
Visa Information:
Accepted participants must apply for a Student Visa in order to be permitted to study in Spain. Upon your acceptance, you will be contacted by a SUNY Cortland study abroad advisor with instructions on how to complete the Student Visa application. Permenant residents of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut may have a SUNY Cortland representative appear on their behalf at the New York Spanish Consulate General. This service is offered to save participants the trouble of booking their own visa appointments and having to travel to New York City. Further, the New York Spanish Consulate General does not prefer to schedule individual student visa appointments.
More details will be released upon acceptance, or contact the International Programs Office. For now, please make sure you have a non-expired official passport at your time of application.

Home stays are arranged by SUNY Cortland's Salamanca Program Coordinator, Sherri Sevde. The Program Fee is based on two people sharing a bedroom, but single bedrooms are available for an addition fee. Three meals per day and limited laundry service are included in the home stay costs.
