Enrollment, Payment, and Continuity Policies
Enrollment, Payment, and Continuity Policies
Program Purpose
The Spanish Flow program is designed to provide international students with a high-quality linguistic and cultural immersion experience focused on learning Spanish as a foreign language while engaging with the culture of our city and its surroundings. Participation in the program must be driven by a genuine interest in the learning process and academic life at the university.
Enrollment for Academic Purposes
It is important to emphasize that Idiomas EAFIT does not have as its primary purpose or function the facilitation of foreigners’ migratory stay in Colombia. Therefore, students must understand and accept that the purpose of their enrollment is academic, and their stay in the country is subject to compliance with the educational processes and attendance requirements established by the institution. In addition, students must be aware that once their academic relationship with the University—established through enrollment in the program—comes to an end, the corresponding report will be made to Migración Colombia.
Payments, Course Opening,and Refunds
The opening of each Spanish Flow module is subject to a minimum number of enrolled students.
If the student decides to enroll, they acknowledge and accept that, in the event the module does not open, the amount paid will be converted into Spanish for You hours (according to the current rate), allowing them to take personalized classes. If the student does not accept this option, a refund will be issued.
If a student pays for more than one module in advance, the total amount will begin to be redeemed from the start of the first Spanish Flow module or Spanish for You hours, as applicable, and subsequent modules will automatically continue in consecutive academic terms.
Courses must be taken consecutively and without interruption during the periods established by the program, unless expressly authorized by the administrative coordination due to exceptional circumstances.
Students will not be allowed to suspend or defer modules or class hours to take them in later months on a non-consecutive basis.
If a student interrupts their academic process without valid justification approved by the administrative coordination, no refunds or rescheduling options will be available.
Note: Exceptional cases (for example, medical leave due to health reasons) may be reviewed by the administrative coordination team in order to define alternative solutions, always within the same academic year.
Immigration Matters
Immigration Matters
Without exception, students are required to provide valid proof of paid international health insurance that covers the entire study period at Idiomas EAFIT. This insurance must include coverage for: emergencies and hospitalization, medical expenses, and repatriation, with a minimum coverage of USD $50,000.
International students entering Colombia to participate in the Spanish Flow program, which lasts less than 180 days, do not need a visa. They may enter Colombia with an Entry and Stay Permit (Permiso de Ingreso y Permanencia – PID), which will be stamped in their passport upon arrival at the airport. If the permit granted is for 90 days and the student’s stay will be longer, they must request an extension of the PID at Migración Colombia in Medellín before it expires, at an approximate cost of COP 143,000 (as of 2025).

Why EAFIT?
More Than 60 Years of History. Universidad EAFIT was born in a decade marked by constant change. It was the dawn of the 1960s when a group of 19 regional business leaders – in tune with the cultural, social, and economic transformations on the horizon globally – founded an institution to serve as a training ground for their companies' future managers and administrators.
