The Summer, Fall, and Winter programs offer a great

program is available to students of all Spanish language
levels. Students take language courses focusing on the
skills of writing, reading, speaking and listening. Please
visit with WISE Abroad staff about this intensive program.
Students must take a minimum of 3 courses in the Fall or
Spring, and in the summer students take two or three
classes. Students taking a total of four to five courses

Admission
Requirements and Visa Application
Top
For beginning, intermediate, and advanced
level Spanish speakers. Students must have a 2.5 GPA. All
students must take a Spanish language assessment exam upon
arrival in Sevilla or Granada. The exam will test each student's
language proficiency level, and will determine the courses
that the student is eligible to enroll. Students who have
completed less than one year of college-level Spanish will
likely place into beginning level courses. Students who have
completed one full year of college-level Spanish will likely
place into the intermediate level courses. Students who have
completed two years of college-level Spanish will likely
place into advanced level courses.
WISE Abroad will assist you with your
student visa application. Students staying longer than
3 months will require a visa. Students from any country
outside the European Union planning to study in Granada for
more than three months should apply for a student visa at
their nearest Spanish Embassy or Consulate. Once
the application form for a semester or academic year at CLM
(University of Granada) has been received, students will be
sent a Reservation or Enrolment Certificate together with a
letter of confirmation to the address given. It is
important to be aware that if you have entered Spain with a
tourist visa, it is not then possible to obtain a student
visa to prolong your stay. Even if you initially think you
will be in the country for less than three months, it is
worth applying for a student visa in your own country which
will enable you to prolong your stay in Spain if you should
so wish. You may visit these sites to learn about the
nearest Spanish Consulate to you: (http://travel.state.gov/visa/americans1.html)
or click on the
Resources for
Students link for additional information.
Accommodation:
WISE Abroad will provide host family
accommodations for all students. Private pensiones may
also be available on a limited basis.

WISE Abroad Applications

suitable housing arrangements for you (please see
prices and dates for
application due
