CEA Study Abroad Updates

At CEA, student safety, health, and well-being is our priority.

We will continuously update this page with any news about events abroad. CEA advisors are also available to talk with students and parents; please call 1.800.266.4441 or E-mail us with concerns or questions.

April 15, 2019 : Paris, France, Fire at Notre Dame Cathedral

CEA is greatly saddened by the reported fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, and keeps all first responders and French citizens in mind with this tragic event.  All CEA students have been accounted for as safe, and given direction by CEA Paris staff to avoid the area, be mindful of traffic restrictions and metro closures, and allow sufficient time to arrive at their destinations in the city.  CEA Center classes are planned for their regularly scheduled times on April 16.

February 20, 2019 : Barcelona, Spain, Demonstrations in the Plaza de Catalunya

As CEA has monitored the growing concerns about the demonstrations planned for Thursday, February 21st, it is with an abundance of caution that classes will be cancelled at the CEA Center for Thursday, February 21st.   
Given the size of the anticipated crowds and the location of the CEA Center, this decision will benefit students and staff who may experience challenges in arriving to the Plaza de Cataluña.  Any exams planned for February 20th will be rescheduled at the first available opportunity.
Please visit the U.S. Department of State for more information related to this concern.
