After selection it’s not possible to cancel an exchange application. Unless there is a well-founded reason or force majeure. This is indeed an exceptional reason.

The following arguments are NOT grounds for cancellation:

• "I have given it some more thought and I am not interested in an exchange". Inform yourself thoroughly and think carefully BEFORE submitting your application.
• "I am not interested in the destination assigned to me." Think carefully BEFORE submitting your application. You can be selected for ANY destination for which you apply.
• "My parents are not interested in an exchange." Consult your parents BEFORE applying.

A cancellation is a lost place because we cannot reallocate that place. So do not take the place of students who want to go on exchange and are able and ready to leave.
