The IES Abroad Home School Authorization Form is completed electronically by the Penn State Education Abroad office after you submit your Penn State application and receive your decision. You don't need to email this form to your Penn State Education Abroad Adviser. Approved students will have their forms completed automatically. No action is required from you.

If you're a serious applicant for this Penn State education abroad program and need a passport or renewal, apply as soon as possible to avoid delays. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your return date. Many students will also need a valid passport to apply for a student visa. Learn more about applying for or renewing a U.S. passport on the Department of State's website: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html
