5. Check Your Passport
   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. 
   
   
6. Await Your Acceptance
   Generally you will learn of your acceptance status within 1-2 weeks of CC-CS receiving all of your application materials. If accepted, CC-CS will notify you via email and you will receive an acceptance packet in the mail.
