*In order to obtain the best possible prices, CCSA often must contract for goods and services such as airline tickets, housing, transportation passes, entrances, etc. far in advance of the program date. Cancellation or adjustment of these contracts will sometimes result in unrecoverable expenses.

Note: the foregoing standards also apply to applicants whose participation is involuntarily canceled by CCSA due to the applicant's failure to remain in good standing or complete required preconditions for participation, such as holding a valid passport, completing visa requirements (where applicable) in a timely fashion.
