Cornish - American College of Greece Exchange

Below is a brief overview of the current visa requirements for your program. Note that countries may amend visa requirements at any time, so it will be important to follow all instructions given by American College of Greece.

You will attend a visa pre-departure webinar with the ACG Study Abroad team, covering all aspects of the student visa application process. As part of the process, you must complete a background check, which can be done at any time. Once your acceptance to ACG is finalized, you will receive an email requesting information for your visa letter. After receiving your visa letter from ACG, you can schedule your visa appointment. Visa appointments, especially at Greek consulates, often do not open until 1-2 months prior to departure—this is normal and not a cause for concern. The Greek Consulate in San Francisco can be particularly difficult to reach. You should email (not call) to request an appointment, ensuring a paper trail of your communication. It may take multiple attempts to get a response, so persistence is key. American College of Greece will offer additional information and guidance before departure and on-site; however, the decision to grant admission into the country is not in American College of Greece’s nor Seattle University's control. Keep in mind that entry requirements are specific to the length of your stay, citizenship, and the type of activities you will be engaged in. It is your responsibility to determine specific entry requirements and stipulations prior to the start of your program.
