CET Jordan

CET is a Washington, DC-based organization that has been designing and administering innovative educational programs abroad since 1982. If you have questions, contact the CET Program Representative for the University of Minnesota, Janelle Bloss.

If you have a disability and plan to study abroad, visit our Accessibility Abroad page to learn about considerations, answer questions, and request accommodations before you go abroad.

Visit your affiliate's website for program dates and application deadlines.

University of Minnesota participants pay the program fee instead of on-campus tuition and fees for the term they are abroad.

To locate CET's published program fees, visit their fees web page. The total amount you will be billed is the published Total CET Program Fee plus the APAAC amount listed for the corresponding term and insurance. Do not pay any deposits directly to CET. The Learning Abroad Center will collect the deposit, which will be billed to your University of Minnesota student billing account.

Note that the CET published fees at the link above do not include all costs associated with participating in the program. Visit the Fees tab on CET's web page for your specific program to view the estimated out-of-pocket expenses for a more comprehensive estimate of the full cost of participation.

Students participating on affiliated programs are charged a program fee that is inclusive of the affiliate's program fee, University of Minnesota Advising, Placement, Academic, and Administrative Costs (APAAC), and international health insurance. The APAAC covers:

• Application processing
• Advising services, orientation
• Course registration
• Grade transfer and posting for resident credit
• Program billing and assistance with financial aid (when applicable)

Based on these additional services and benefits, the total program fee may be higher than the affiliate's published program fee.

Visit Billing for information about the billing process for application fees, deposits, and program fees.

Each of our affiliated programs awards its own array of scholarships. While many are need-based, others are based on merit, location, academic area, or diversity criteria. Explore your options within specific affiliates' scholarship pages.

Visit Financial Information for information on using financial aid and scholarships for study abroad.

The Flight & Deposit Advance (formerly Bridging Loan) is a no-interest/no-fees program that allows you to defer payment of your flight and LAC program deposit until your financial aid is disbursed.
