REQUIRED PAPERWORK AND INFORMATION BY UNIVERSITY
In addition to applying to Middlebury College, your host university requires you to complete some paperwork. Though not an application, per se, these are the necessary items to complete your file. This is important to do now, at the time of application, in order to get you registered at the university—this is what starts the visa process for those of you who need visas too.
