Next Steps for Admitted Students

Please confirm your place as soon as possible once admitted, as there is limited space in the program. Once the program capacity is reached, students who pay the deposit will be added to a waiting list.

To confirm your place in the program, submit the following two items.

1. Program Deposit: Please pay your program deposit online, if a deposit is required.

2. Acceptance Agreement: You can find your acceptance agreement in your acceptance email.

All students are required to have a passport several months before their program begins, and most students will need to apply for a visa to study in Spain. Read more about passports and visas.

Study Abroad students are required to live in housing arranged by Berklee. We have secured spaces in the luxury residence Livensa Living Marina Real. Learn more about your housing residence on the Valencia website.

As a Livensa resident, it is important to note that a security deposit of €250 is required from you the month before you arrive. This deposit is refundable, provided that everything is in the same condition as when you first received it.

You will receive a form from the Study Abroad Office to submit your housing preferences, including preferred room type (single or double), and roommate (if applicable).

If you regularly work with certain departments on campus, it's necessary to let them know you will study abroad.

• Residential students: If you live on campus in Boston, contact Housing to let them know when you will be studying abroad and to request housing for when you return.
• Student employees: If you currently have a student employment position, inform your supervisor of your plans to study abroad, including when you will go abroad as well as when you are able to work once you return.
• International students: Contact International Student Services, especially if you are close to graduating and considering Optional Practical Training (OPT) or other post-completion options.
• Students with accommodations: Contact Accessibility Resources to request academic or housing accommodations for your semester or year abroad.
• Students who meet with counselors: Let your counselor know that you will study abroad so they can provide useful tips and help you set up counseling services in Valencia.
