We recommend that you purchase your plane ticket as soon as you know for certain you are enrolling the class; airfares tend to go up as summer approaches. We suggest using www.statravel.com or www.kayak.com to book your flight.

*** Passport Info: Make sure you have a valid passport as soon as possible! If you have a passport, make sure that it is valid through at least six (6) months after the program ends (or date you intend to return to the U.S.) (approx. December 20, 2020). If your passport will expire prior to that time, or if you need to obtain a passport you should apply for one as soon as possible, as processing can take 6-8 weeks. The cost increases if it's necessary to rush the processing.***

* Students who need a passport may schedule an appointment at CSUDH's Passport Hub office as soon as possible.
