Council provides each applicant with the course descriptions required by their home school as well as a sample transcript upon application to the service. Before applying to the service, you should speak to officials at your home school about credit transfer. Issued in over 90 countries, the card is the only internationally-recognized proof of student status around the world. ISIC holders have access to airfare savings, and discounts on services and attractions across the globe. In addition to the coverage provided by the International Student Identity Card, you are also covered by a Council insurance policy while participating in the University Direct Enrollment Service.
All participants receive copies of the insurance policies upon acceptance.
Council understands that you may be interested in traveling on your own either before or after the term and therefore need some flexibility when making your travel arrangements. For this reason, airfare is not included in the fees. Council Travel, a division of Council, specializes in travel products and services especially for students, youth, and the budget traveler. Council Travel provides you with information on low-cost student airfares, and Council Travel staff are available to work with you to find the best fares possible for your itinerary whether you are flying directly to the host institution or traveling before or after your period of study. Many past participants on Council programs have volunteered to serve as references for future applicants.
