Pro-Tip for Spring 2022: Apply For Your Passport Today
While getting a passport has always been a very crucial part of the study abroad process, the reality now is that COVID-19 has delayed passport processing times significantly. The U.S. State Department has announced that it now takes an average of 18 weeks—aka 4.5 months!—to process a passport. Learn more about getting your passport as soon as you can, and hop to it.
