The Application Process
Applications will open soon for the 2024 program.
For non-Gonzaga Law students, applications must include an official copy of your transcript showing that you are in good academic standing.

Valid passports are required for travel to Italy and are the sole responsibility of the student. Many countries require at least six months or more left before the passport expires for entrance.
If you do not have a valid passport, you should obtain one at the earliest possible date. You can get more information about obtaining a U.S. passport from travel.state.gov.
Passport photos are available on campus in the Student Accounts Office, CG 024. You can pay for your photos using CASHNet. Bring your receipt and photo ID to the Student Accounts Office M-F 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
