1. Check Application Deadlines for your program. Admissions to CC-CS are on a rolling basis, so applying early is always encouraged. Also check the deadlines for the CC-CS Scholarship and Internship course option applications if you wish to apply for these program options.
   
   
2. Meet with your Study Abroad Advisor about your study abroad plans. Your advisor can inform you of any school deadlines, study abroad requirements and your school's acceptance of the CC-CS transcript.
   
   
3. Complete Your Online Application. (If you would like to complete a paper copy of the application, click here.)
   

1. Obtain a valid passport if you do not have one yet. To travel abroad, you need a passport valid for six months after your program end date. If you do not have a valid passport, you must apply for one immediately. It can take up to eight weeks to receive your passport, so apply for it right away. 
   
   
2. Confirm visa requirements. Most programs of three months or longer require a visa. Non-U.S. students should verify the visa requirements for their country of nationality immediately upon inquiry into a program.
   
   Note: An FBI background check may be required for Academic Years students or those staying in Spain for over six months. Please check the visa requirements at your nearest Spanish Consulate to see if this background check will be required, and allow ample time for its completion.
   
   

Note: The quality of our student body sets CC-CS apart from other study abroad institutions. Students are required to have a 3.0 GPA in Spanish coursework, although exceptions may be made with strong recommendations from faculty. We reserve the right to reject students based upon their past academic performance and other relevant considerations. Contact the Amherst Office at info[at]spanishstudies.org, if you wish to enumerate any section of your CC-CS application.
