Air Travel
CET offers round trip international tickets at competitive prices through our travel partner, Travel-On. Students who choose to purchase their air tickets through Travel-On can fly to their destination on a flight that may also have other CET program students.
Students accepted to a CET program can contact Travel-On to receive information about flights and how to purchase tickets. In addition, students will receive, approximately two weeks prior to the program start date, information about transferring from the airport to the program site upon arrival.
Continuing Student Discount
Past participants agree: the combination of two or more CET programs is greater than the sum of its parts! Spending a full academic year abroad puts students firmly on the path toward linguistic and cultural expertise. We encourage all students to consider this option and will provide a $500 discount for each additional semester you enroll with CET. This discount does not apply to students continuing into or from the Beijing Janterm.
A Note About Costs
CET reserves the right to increase quoted charges at any time without prior notification, based on increased instruction costs, exchange rate fluctuation or other cost increases beyond CET’s control. This right includes but is not limited to surcharging students for additional costs incurred due to under-enrollment in any given course.
