Gap Year Program Assurance Advantage

At no additional cost, you can change your enrollment to a different program of the same length that is taught in another location. If you were to choose a different program with a lower tuition cost, CIEE would refund you that cost difference. If you were to choose a program with a higher tuition cost, you would be billed the cost difference but wouldn’t be charged any change or confirmation fees. 

At no additional cost, you can defer your participation in the program to next spring.

CIEE will provide reimbursement for up to $500 in flight change fees and/or cancellation fees not refunded to you by your airline that result from having to alter an existing ticket due to your CIEE Gap Year Abroad program being cancelled.

Should a health, safety, or security concern cause CIEE to cancel or suspend your program on or before your program start date, and that you choose to not change or defer your participation to your program, you will be eligible for a full refund of your CIEE Program Tuition Payments.

If you choose to cancel your participation in a program that CIEE is still running, our normal cancellation and refund policy applies. You can find more details in our FAQ.

Our onsite staff will present all available options to complete the academic requirements of your program. In such situation, we will be in direct and constant contact with you and your parents and/or legal guardians.
