Air Travel CET is able to offer students round trip international tickets at competitive prices through our travel partner, Premiere Travel. Students who choose to purchase their air tickets through Premiere Travel can fly to their destination on a flight that may also have other CET program students.
Students accepted to a CET program can contact Premiere Travel to receive information about flights and how to purchase tickets. In addition, students will receive, approximately two weeks prior to the program start date, information about transferring from the airport to the program site upon arrival.
Continuing Student Discount Past
participants agree: the combination of two or more CET programs is
greater than the sum of its parts! Spending a full academic year abroad
puts students firmly on the path toward linguistic and cultural
expertise. We encourage all students to consider this option and will
provide a $500 discount for each additional semester you enroll with
CET.
A Note About Costs CET
reserves the right to increase quoted charges at any time without prior
notification, based on increased instruction costs, exchange rate
fluctuation or other cost increases beyond CET's control. This right
includes but is not limited to surcharging students for additional
costs incurred due to under-enrollment in any given course.
Back to top Insurance Medical insurance is provided to CET students by
Cultural Insurance Services International and is included in the price
of the program. For more information about specific coverage, download the CISI Coverage Brochure.
Passports and Visas Students will obtain their own visa with assistance from CET. Students must have a valid passport
in order to receive a visa. For more information about passports and
visas, click here.
Credit and Transcripts One of the questions we are most frequently asked is: "How many credits will I receive for attending a CET program?"
The
simple answer to this question is that CET does not award credit.
Instead, CET recommends an appropriate number of credits for each
course and it is up to the discretion of each student's home
institution to award credits according to its own credit system. The
vast majority of institutions whose students have attended CET's
programs have granted credit according to CET's recommendations.
In
order to facilitate the process of credit awards, CET will provide each
student upon written request an official transcript jointly issued by
the overseas host institution and CET. The transcript will state the
names of all courses taken, the total number of course contact hours,
the total number of class hours attended by the student, all grades
earned and recommended credits for each course. Because CET requires
that all students take a full course load regardless of program, and
prohibits students from taking courses pass/fail, CET consistently
recommends that students receive a full semester's worth of credit for
each program (typically 15 to 18 total credits in the fall or spring,
and 7 to 9 total credits in the summer). Recommended credits for each
course are noted in each program's Academics section of this website.
CET will not issue a transcript for any student who has an outstanding
account balance.

Cancellations and Refunds CET
reserves the right to cancel any program prior to departure, in which
case the entire payment, including processing fees, will be refunded
without further obligation on our part.
Students who choose to
cancel prior to a program's start date are eligible for a partial
refund even if CET later decides to cancel the program. If an enrolled
student chooses to interrupt his/her participation after a program's
commencement, for any reason whatsoever, or chooses not to attend
certain parts of the program, there is no refund for any unused
portions of that program.
Student Selection The admissions
committee selects students based on their academic performance,
recommendations, seriousness of purpose and desire to participate in
the program. CET's minimum cumulative GPA for admissions is 3.0;
exceptions may be made under special circumstances.
The
CET office in Prague is located in directly in the city center, just
off of Wenceslas Square (Vaclavske Namesti). Please note that CET staff
cannot accept packages for students at this address.
