Group travel arrangements will be made by the Jerusalem Center Office, and students are not allowed to arrange for their own air travel. There are no exceptions to this policy. It may be possible for students to request returning to a U.S. destination other than Salt Lake City, but this must be arranged before the semester begins. All students must leave the Middle East at the end of the program. The only exception is if parents pick up their student in Jerusalem on the day prior to departure. Please see financial aid requirements concerning post-program travel.
Information on how to apply for a passport can be found at travel.state.gov. It is recommended that students obtain a new passport if they have stamps in it from prior travel to Syria or Lebanon. Students do not need a visa to enter the country, and all in-country visa requirements and processes are handled by the Jerusalem Center.
Students are required to be in groups of at least three individuals whenever they are outside the Center.
