What is the CIS refund policy if a program is suspended or canceled?
Cancellation or suspension of any program will result if: • The US Department of State issues a travel warning advising US citizens not to travel to a particular country or, if in country, to leave; or • If CIS deems it necessary to cancel or suspend the program for any other reason. Any serious illness that causes a student to withdraw must be documented by a licensed US physician and notification sent to CIS. In cases where CIS is forced to cancel or suspend a program, or in the case of serious documented illness, the following refund policies will be applied: • If the program has not yet begun, all funds will be refunded, less the $50.00 application processing fee and any non-recoverable housing/damage deposits. • If the program has begun, CIS will refund any portion of the student’s expense that has not been used or committed less the $50.00 application fee.
