Semester Program Assurance Advantage

You can change your enrollment to a different program in another location; subject to availability. 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.

You can defer your participation in the program to a future term; subject to availability.

Should a health, safety, or security concern cause CIEE to cancel or suspend your program on or before your program start date:

1. You can choose to defer to a future term
2. In certain countries, you may be able to start the term a few weeks late
3. For Spain, France, Germany, and Japan, you will be eligible for a full refund at any time up to the program start date.
4. For Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Brazil and the U.K. there are more specific cancellation terms that you will be informed of via email.

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.

If there are options for you to complete the academic requirements of your program, our onsite staff will present these options to you. In such situation, we will be in direct and constant contact with you and your parents and/or legal guardians.
