Apply for or renew your passport! Your passport will need to be valid at least six months beyond the dates of your trip and first time applicants should plan to apply in your home state. Visit the US State Department online for all application details.
Choose a program. Deadlines are program-dependent and the Mac Center will assist you.
Apply. Your online application will be reviewed by the Mac Center, the Vice-President of Student Affairs, and an MC financial aid officer who will explain how your loans and scholarships might apply.
Commit. A financial deposit is required to continue preparations.
There is still some work to be done. You will meet your fellow travelers, attend orientation, learn how to pack and complete your paperwork. You will be required to register with the US State Department's Smart Travelers Enrollment Program, provide a copy of your passport to the Mac Center and MC Public Safety and will be enrolled in a travel assistance and evacuation insurance program. It is not hard but it will require self-discipline. You can do it. Let's go!
