What is Panrimo?

Panrimo is a third-party provider that arranges study abroad programs for students. EIU has a partnership with Panrimo which means EIU students can participate in a Panrimo study abroad program and earn EIU credit. With each Panrimo program, EIU students will pay their study abroad program fees directly to Panrimo. Your EIU student account will only be charged for the $300 EIU study abroad administrative fee; however Panrimo will reimburse you for this $300 fee. You will not pay EIU tuition or regular fees for the term(s) you are studying abroad.

Panrimo offers study abroad programs in Argentina, China, the Czech Republic, England, Italy, and Scotland. For detailed information about program offerings, courses, dates, and fees for each program, go to Panrimo's web site.

Panrimo’s Mission: To offer customized options for all to study and intern abroad in order to create positive global interdependence and understanding.

To enter any of the Panrimo program countries, you must have a valid passport. If you are a U.S. citizen and do not currently have a valid passport, or if your passport will expire during the time you will be overseas, please go to the U.S. State Department web site for information on how to apply for/renew your passport.

Visa
A visa is your permission to enter a particular country for a specific amount of time. To find out if you need a visa for the country you plan to study in, please visit the Foreign Entry Requirements page on the U.S. State Department's web site. You can use the Foreign Entry Requirements page to get contact information for the Embassy of the country in which you plan to study.
