E whakatapua ana a CIS ki te noho hei piriti mō ngā ākonga ki ngā whare wānanga rongonui o te ao, me te tuku i te "Top Global Universities Admission Guarantee Program". Ko te whāinga o tēnei kaupapa he whakarato tautoko whānui me te ārahi mō ngā ākonga e hiahia ana ki te whakauru atu ki ngā rarangi o ngā whare wānanga rongonui o te ao, e arotahi ana ki ngā kaupapa nui e rua: te "Oxbridge Admission Guarantee Program" me te "University of California Admission Guarantee Program".
