To Do

Last time we introduced you to your participant’s CIEE My Account, which contains lots of useful information. There, you will find a “To Do” list with items your participant needs to complete.  By paying the deposit for your participant, new tasks became available. Some of these tasks require a parent or guardian signature so help your participant to complete these tasks soon.
