Application
Students must submit their completed application by the deadlines listed above under "Important Dates" to be considered for this program.

Orientation
All students are required to attend the LIM College Pre-Departure Orientation. Date, time and location are made available after acceptance into the program. Students must also attend the CEU Orientation and are required to arrange travel so they can do so. Orientation is typically held one to two weeks prior to the start of each corresponding semester.
Courses
Course lists can be found here: http://www.uspceu.com/es/alumnos/movilidad-internacional/index.aspx (click “International Students,” then “Useful Information,” then “Academic Information”). Students will be required to submit a LIM College Course Proposal Form to have courses evaluated prior to attending CEU. Students must be registered for a minimum of 12 credit hours (or the equivalent) per term, including both courses abroad and online courses taken at LIM. Final registration of courses happens during Orientation Week.
Students must meet with their Academic Advisor to ensure their courses will fit into their graduation plan.
Accommodations & Travel
CEU facilitates housing in shared student apartments for incoming exchange students through third-party accommodation providers. Students are also welcome to find housing independently. The LIM College Study Abroad Coordinator can assist accepted students with finding appropriate accommodation.
All housing costs are paid directly to the housing provider, which may be the host university, a student apartment company, a landlord, etc. depending on where the student chooses to live.
Students are responsible for booking and purchasing their own airfare.
Health Insurance
All students are required to purchase international health insurance and provide proof of having done so in order to apply for a Spanish student visa. In order to meet the visa requirements, this insurance coverage must include:
The Study Abroad Coordinator can provide information on insurance companies that provide supplemental coverage that meets or exceeds the above requirements.
Program Cost
Students pay LIM College tuition to LIM College for the semester abroad. This does not cover airfare, housing, books, meals, or personal expenses, such as shopping. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the Spain and the United States. Additional costs to consider (all amounts are approximations and in pounds unless otherwise noted):
Students who receive financial aid can typically apply this aid to a semester abroad. All students who receive aid will be required to meet with a Student Financial Services Counselor prior to departure to discuss the status of their aid and complete any additional requirements.
Student Visa
Students will be required to have a visa to study for the semester. Students must have a valid passport that expires no sooner than 6 months past the end of the exchange experience to apply for the visa and should be prepared to show that they have access to sufficient funds to cover their costs for the semester as part of the visa application process. Accepted students will be sent a letter of invitation from CEU to present to the immigration authorities.
Student visas are normally issued for up to one month prior to the start of the semester and will be valid up to one month after completion of studies. Students are encouraged not to make any travel plans until their visa has been issued and they know the exact dates of its validity.
