This calendar allows us to fit our semester program into 89 days, thus reducing the need for American students to apply for an Italian study visa. (More information can be found through the US Embassy website ) As the visa application requires trips to the Italian embassy to complete the paperwork process and cost over a hundred dollars to be processed, we feel that it is best to avoid this step.  We have thus scheduled our Spring 2023 schedule accordingly to avoid the hassle. Please don't hesitate to contact our office if you have any questions.
