Failure to enroll in or complete an online course:
- If a registrant does not enroll in one or more of the required online courses within two years of registering for a course package, full price at current rates will be charged to retake the course(s).
- Students are given 365 days to complete an online course once enrolled, so it’s permissible for the completion (due) date of an online course to extend beyond the 2-year limit.
- If an online course is not completed by the assigned due date, full price at current rates will be charged to retake the course.
Failure to enroll in or attend an in-person course:

- It’s permissible to select and attend an in-person course scheduled for a date that falls after the 2-year limit, as long as the enrollment process is completed by choosing an offering that is listed on the current course schedule within two years of registering for the course package.
- If a registrant enrolls in an in-person course but cancels one week or more before the start date, a $25 fee will be charged to transfer enrollment to another offering of the same course.
- If a registrant enrolls in an in-person course but cancels less than one week before the start date, a $100 fee will be charged to transfer enrollment to another offering of the same course.
- If a registrant fails to attend an in-person course without prior notice, full price at current rates will be charged to retake the course.
- Lenience will be granted for extenuating circumstances like course cancellations, adverse weather, and other similar emergencies.
- Canceling an online course registration: If a registrant cancels an online course registration within one week, no fees apply and full course tuition will be refunded.
