MyEAP Application
As a UCEAP applicant you must complete the MyEAP online application. The MyEAP application collects demographic and
academic information, which later becomes the foundation of your MyEAP account. If you are selected to become a UCEAP
participant, your MyEAP account will be where you access your UCEAP billing, course list, grades, and more.
The first, middle, and last name used in your MyEAP online application must be identical to the name listed on your
passport, even if this name does not match your Berkeley records. You will also be able to enter a previous legal name or
your name on your UC transcript if different than your passport.
Access the MyEAP Online Application from the link below. When you visit the MyEAP homepage, you will first need to create your
MyEAP account. After this you can begin your online application.
https://myeap.eap.ucop.edu/Galileo/Outbound/Login.aspx
After submitting the MyEAP Online Application electronically, a signed and dated print out of the MyEAP Online Application
must also be uploaded to the Berkeley Study Abroad application for UCEAP.
The signature must be hand written, it cannot be
typed. You must
upload all pages of the MyEAP Online Application, not just the signature page.
Passport
Passport Validity
A valid passport is required for participation in all UCEAP programs. Your passport must be valid for a minimum of six months
after the projected end date of your UCEAP program (18 months for programs in Russia). For example, if your projected
program end date is August 15, 2019, your passport must not expire prior to February 16, 2020 (May 16, 2021 for Russia).
If you do not currently have a valid passport based on the criteria above, apply for a new or renewed passport as soon as possible
to avoid having to pay the extra fee charged by passport agencies for expedited processing to meet application or pre-departure
deadlines. Information on how to apply for a passport is provided on the BSA website
.
Application Requirement
Some UCEAP programs require proof of a valid passport at the time of application, while others require a valid passport shortly
after selection to the program.
If a scan of the photo/information/signature page of your passport is required at the time of application for your UCEAP program,
you must upload a color scan of the valid passport, or a receipt showing that you have applied for your new or renewed passport
by the application deadline.
You are not required to use Expedited (Rush) processing if you apply for a new or renewed passport by the day of the UCEAP
deadline. You must use Expedited (Rush) processing in the following circumstances:
o If you did not apply for a new or renewed passport by the UCEAP application deadline.
o If you have been given individual permission to submit a late application.
o If you are applying to a UCEAP deadline that has been extended.
o If you are notified by the BSA Adviser that it is necessary.
On the following page you will find a chart of UCEAP countries and/or programs that require a passport photocopy at the
time of application.

complete the DPA form, check "Yes", have it signed by your major adviser(s) and college adviser(s), and upload the

extend, you do not need to complete this form.

a ‘Yes’ DPA and decide to extend while abroad, you may be required to return to California between terms to apply for a
second visa.
