In addition, all accepted applicants choosing NOT to use the University's insurance plan must submit a letter from their own insurance company indicating the extent of their coverage while abroad. Two copies of an insurance claim form must be attached to the letter. This allows your physician to assess your ability to participate in the program and provides the directing faculty member with pertinent information about allergies, medications, etc. Applicants should be aware that this program involves occasionally strenuous walking and moderately difficulty terrain, and for that reason it is essential to check with your doctor before applying. Students participating in the Classics in Rome Program may also be eligible for additional student loans.
All participants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements to and from Rome.
Because of the highly unpredictable fluctuations in air fares and options, it is impossible to give an accurate estimate of travel costs for the trans-Atlantic flight. Comparison shopping through newspaper ads and telephone calls to various travel agencies is the best way to find low air fares. Please act quickly in booking and purchasing your ticket, since budget tickets are the first to become fully booked. It is also imperative that you apply for a passport if you do not have one, or if your passport has expired. The Department must have students' passport numbers as soon as possible after enrollment in the program in order to obtain permissions from Italian authorities for admission to archaeological sites.
