Insurance

All participants will receive an International Student Identity Card (ISIC) with basic worldwide health and accident insurance. This policy is very limited and it is highly recommended that you have medical insurance that will cover more completely while abroad. If your insurance company will not cover you abroad or if you would like information on trip cancellation or baggage insurance, please contact ACCENT at 415/ 835-3744 or 800/869-9291.

Passports and Visas

Participants are responsible for obtaining their own passports. Your passport must be valid for at least six months after your expected return to the U.S. If you do not already have a passport or want to renew your expired passport, you can visit the following website in order to find the location nearest you to apply for a passport: http://iafdb.travel.state.gov/

A visa is required for U.S. citizens for the duration of the program. Please contact ACCENT and the French Consulate nearest you for more information. If you live in or near the Bay Area, you can obtain visa information by visting the website for the French Consulate in San Francisco at:
