Yes. Students will be asked to commit to their program with a nonrefundable deposit within two weeks of their acceptance to a CET programs.
All final program fee balances are due June 15. See our Financial Services page for more information on billing.
If CET cancels your program before it begins, you will receive a full refund. You will then need to work with your home institution to discuss alternative options for the fall term – including enrolling on your home campus.
Please be sure to follow the recommendation of your Student Services Coordinator. They will confirm final program dates and let you know when it is wise to book your flight. When you book a flight, be sure to speak with your airline carrier about change fees and refund policies. We recommend booking a refundable or flexible ticket option. Please do not purchase airfare until you have confirmation from your Student Services Coordinator.
CET will continue to deliver the academic content of your program online. If you participate in a program with direct-enroll classes, we will do our best to work with the local partner to make these courses available online too, but we cannot guarantee that all direct-enroll courses will be able to transition to remote instruction.
CET program fees are broken down into two categories: tuition and fees and housing and student life fees. View your program fee breakdown. Should CET need to cancel a program once the program has started, Tuition and Fees will not be refunded as CET will continue to offer remote instruction and credit for the spring term.
CET will make every effort to recover costs in the Housing and Student Life fees category already paid to vendors and return these to students. CET will refund students any recoverable costs at the time of cancellation for non-academic program components. This will take time, not all related program costs will be recoverable, and amounts will depend on our partners’ and vendors’ ability to refund unused services.
Unfortunately, CET will not be able to host local roommates in fall 2021 due to COVID precautions. CET staff will arrange opportunities for engaging with local students in other ways, taking into account COVID precautions. As soon as we are able, CET will host local roommates again on its programs.
CET has developed a COVID-19 Playbook that is guiding our preparations and strategy for operating in-person programs abroad again. Learn more about the COVID Playbook and how our sites are adapting.
