Admissions

NECA Accredited Study Abroad Programs in Florence, Italy

Study abroad in Italy for US students and experience a unique combination of academic excellence and cultural immersion. NECA offers accredited semester programs in Florence that allow American university students to earn transferable college credits while living in one of Europe’s most historic cities.

Program applicants should inquire for more information at info@necaflorence.com. NECA will e-mail all inquiring students the updated brochure file with information like dates, costs, deadlines, enrollment procedure, scholarships, refund policy, etc.
The student should decide if to make the down payment to secure his or her place in the program only after opening and reading the NECA updated brochure file containing also the Terms of Payment and the NECA Refund Policy.

To be admitted in NECA Programs, participants must be covered by a Health Insurance at their own expense. The insurance is to cover:
1) MEDICAL/HEALTH PROBLEMS
2) EMERGENCY EVACUATION
3) Emergency due to Covid-19 (including costs due to stays in hotel or the like in case the student tests positive, etc.).

Most U.S.-based Health coverage does NOT include these.
Emergency Evacuation and Emergency due to Covid-19 are not necessary to request the visa (for students who need a visa) but they are necessary to be admitted to the program.

Students (not their university or college) are to give NECA at the orientation program in Florence proof of coverage dates with written proof expressly stating that Emergency Evacuation and Emergency due to Covid-19 are also covered for his or her entire stay in Italy.
Students may provide a photocopy during orientation provided that it is specified that Medical/Health Problems, Emergency Evacuation, and Emergency due to Covid-19 are covered. The proof of insurance must include the participant’s name and dates of coverage, that is start date and end date (covering the duration of the program).
NECA is not responsible for program participants who do not have any insurance or for those who have an insurance that does not cover all of the above.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
Program participants are also to provide NECA with personal information (i.e. allergies, special diet, and emergency contact numbers) once they have been accepted into the Program. NECA assures that this information will be kept strictly confidential, according to Italian privacy law.
