API will continue to monitor the local conditions and entry/travel restrictions for each site where we operate programs as we assess feasibility of hosting students on-site for summer and fall 2021. Should we elect to suspend or cancel additional programs, API will make this decision a minimum of 61 days prior to the program start date. API will refund students of all program fees paid, including the application deposit ($150) and confirmation payment ($400), any time we cancel a program in advance of the start date.
