To help facilitate your exchange experience, a number of forms must be signed and/or completed by you, your host university, your home institution, or your program sponsor during the course of your program. Some of these forms can be downloaded in PDF format. To open and print these documents, you must have the Adobe Acrobat Reader software. If your computer does not have a copy of the program, you may download a free copy by clicking on the "Get Acrobat Reader" icon to the right. Once you download Adobe Acrobat, click on the appropriate link to access your forms.

You may fill out a Spanish or English version of these forms, if available. Unless noted otherwise, these forms should be submitted by January 15. Please contact your Fulbright Commission or Public Affairs Sections of the United States Embassy to confirm whether the forms should be submitted to them or sent directly to LASPAU. It is not necessary to send any of the documents by express mail or fax. If you are sending forms to LASPAU, please send them to the following address:
