Why are participating American universities not encouraged to contact students directly before they arrive on campus?
A. Before the students arrive on U.S. campuses, all the information is passed to individual students through CCIEE’s office. Parents will get confused if they hear different sources of information and will call CCIEE to verify what they hear. Students and parents all communicate with each other and misinformation may cause anxiety among them. Therefore, CCIEE’s policy is that all requests made to individual students before they arrive in the U.S. be channeled through CCIEE’s office.
