Cancellations

Cancellations are effective the same day CSA receives it in writing. Cancellations must be in writing to be accepted and processed. E-mail is acceptable as well as postal letters. No phone call cancellations – it must be in writing.

The “Enrollment Deposit” fee paid upon registration is non-refundable.  This fee is for our direct enrollment services which are outlined in the fee description.  When you register with CSA and pay the fee, the services are being contracted and “rendered” (provided).  Non-refundable.

Participants (applicants) who are forced to return home after departure, or starting the program, due to illness or other reasons, may consult with the on-site school staff at the student office to discuss options and any possible refunds. Remember, once you receive your final confirmations from CSA, there is usually no refund if you cancel. Also, before or after the program begins, and after receiving your confirmations, if you decide to return home for “personal reasons”, you will be forfeiting your payment to “the program” (school) and any housing” arranged. In addition, if you fail to obtain a passport in a timely manner…or Visa (if needed) after receiving your confirmation documents from CSA….there is usually no refund – except in special circumstances as determined by CSA staff…case by case basis.

NOTE: CSA cancellation and refund policy is very similar to other study abroad program providers, as well as general travel booking services. The various expenses involved in making program and housing arrangements, including administrative costs, warrant a policy that covers these expenses.

NOTE: Personal responsibility is expected of all applicants.
