Academic Programs, will travel to Cuba from March 2-12, 2012. 
This 10-day journey features travel to Havana, Varadero, and

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to clarify the message sent out by CET Academic Programs on November 1 about the 10-day Brevard College Geology in Cuba journey.

The parent company of CET Academic Programs, Academic Travel Abroad (ATA) is licensed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)/US Treasury as a Travel Services Provider (TSP) and has extensive experience serving US residents who are legally permitted to travel to Cuba in their own right. Here is the link to the Treasury Department's list of TSP: http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Documents/cuba_tsp.pdf.

Additionally, in order to participate in this program, students from institutions other than Brevard College must register for academic credit for GEOL 290 - Geology in Cuba at Brevard College. According to OFAC rules, this credit must also be accepted by students' home institutions and must count towards their degree.

If you have any additional questions about these restrictions and regulations, please contact Mark Lenhart, Executive Director of CET Academic Programs and Vice President of Academic Travel Abroad.

Regards,
Jennifer
