Sophomore, Junior or Senior Class Status
Applicants must have sophomore, junior, or senior standing by the time the program begins to participate in this program.
Good academic and disciplinary standing
Academic and disciplinary history will be considered when determining whether a student is eligible for this program. Students must be in good academic and disciplinary standing at their home institution.
Valid Passport
Students with a valid passport should check the expiration date. Passports must be valid for at least six (6) months after your anticipated return to the U.S. from studying abroad. If your passport is not valid for at least six months after your anticipated date of return to the U.S., you must renew your passport before applying for the visa you will need to enter your host country.
Study Visa
As a student planning to study in Italy for more than 90 days, you are required to obtain an Italian student visa. You must apply for this visa at one of the ten Italian consulates in the United States. You may only apply for the study visa within 90 days of departure.
Although you must apply for the visa on your own, the Wells in Florence coordinator will help guide you through this process.
The Wells in Florence Program is open to Wells College students and to students from other American colleges and universities who are in good academic standing.
