Disabilities Policy
Study Abroad Italy is dedicated to providing education abroad opportunities to students with physical disabilities or learning difficulties. If you experience any learning difficulties (e.g. dyslexia) which may interfere with your ability to pursue an academic course, and which you wish to be taken into account, please notify Study Abroad Italy during your application process. Although we may not be able to offer any specialized instruction or resources, we can offer understanding and respect, and will do our best to replicate any assistance (extra time in tests, etc.) offered at the student's home institutions. Regarding physical disability, it is important to note that Italy’s infrastructure and ability to accommodate disabled individuals differs from what is available in the United States. Among our program choices, certain sites are better equipped to assist students with disabilities than others. As this may be a factor in choosing which SAI program abroad to attend, please notify us of any and all disabilities before applying.

Credits
At the completion of the program, students will receive a Master's Degree from the University of Wales and a Master's Diploma from Domus Academy.

If a student is required to enroll through a US university in order to receive US credits and be eligible for financial aid, he/she may enroll through Fairfield University, in Connecticut. As Fairfield University's Western Regional Office for International Studies, the Study Abroad Italy Office in California processes all Fairfield/DA applications. Please contact our office for more information.

Student Visas
All students must obtain a Student Visa. Upon acceptance, SAI will send you the application procedures for your student visa. It is very important that you start this process as soon as you are enrolled in the program, as the procedure will take time. For some Italian Consulates, SAI is able to handle the visa processing for you, and the fee for this service can be found below on the costs page.

Housing
Master's students are given the option of enrolling in Study Abroad Italy housing. Please contact our office for more information.
