Cultivation of the College community is central to the UWC experience, so students can travel home only at a time that does not interfere with academic and other college obligations. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, students should not return home in the very first month of the program, as this is a crucial period in the immersion process.
The College asks for parents’/guardians' support in making this process easier. Please note that during the examination period, students are not allowed to leave the College.
All school breaks are listed in the school calendar. The College observes religious holidays in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as national holidays. School attendance policy does not allow early departures or late arrivals, and therefore, we kindly ask you to organize your travelling arrangements in advance during breaks so as not to collide with classes.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL STUDENTS:
We recommend that you do not purchase flight tickets until you have received your residence permit in Bosnia and Herzegovina. If you need to buy tickets in advance, please make sure to choose flexible fares. The College can not influence the duration of the residence permit process.
Please always check transit visa rules for all countries on your route before booking your flight.
We recommend that the students who are on a visa regime travel via Istanbul. Transit through EU countries usually requires a transit visa. This applies to your entire study period. If you are unsure or have questions, contact us before booking your flights.
Students on a full all-inclusive scholarship do not need to book their own tickets. Flights will be arranged by the school, and you should wait to be contacted by us with the instructions.
