<li>When you have been accepted to your study abroad program, contact Pam

the ISA agreement (call 432-8684; email
<a href="mailto:pamela.warner@yale.edu">pamela.warner@yale.edu</a>). This
final step is necessary in order for your award check to be processed.
</ol>Please note that many of the non-Yale study programs have deadlines
that will be coming up in the next month or so, and some programs are
known to close before stated deadlines, so don't wait until the last
minute to apply. Information is available at

Passport?<br>
</b></font></div>
<font size=3>If you don't have a passport (or your passport needs to be
renewed) and plan on traveling abroad this summer, or for the fall
semester, you should apply soon. According to the U.S. State Department
passport services web site,<i> "At this time, we are processing
routine applications within four to six weeks of receipt. We are
processing requests for expedited service within three
weeks." </i>However, given the lengthy delays leading up
to last summer's travel season, we strongly encourage you to apply as
soon as possible.<i> </i> See the State department web site for a listing
of passport acceptance facilities and other information about the
application process
