It is the student's responsibility to secure the tourist visa. OUS will provide instructions to assist students with the visa application process. The granting of visas is at the sole discretion of the Mexican government and cannot be guaranteed by OUS or the University of Oregon.
Please note that visa regulations and policies change frequently.
All students should apply for or renew (if necessary) their U.S. (or other) passports as soon as possible.

In addition, all UO study abroad participants are required to complete a general Blackboard orientation. More information regarding the orientation process will be emailed to students.
The orientations will cover administrative logistics, travel, health, safety, conduct, housing and cultural adjustment.
