Coursework

Refunds
- You can request a refund, minus the $200 processing fee, within the first two weeks of the class.
- Refund requests made after the first two weeks will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Up to 50% of the class fee may be returned.
Transfers
- Under special circumstances you may request a transfer to an upcoming offering of the class. A transfer fee of $200 will apply.
- Coursework from the previous offering will not be honored.
- Generally only one transfer will be honored during your time in the certificate program.
- Once you have transferred, you cannot request a refund or an incomplete for that class.
Incompletes
- If you have completed 75% of the class assignments with a passing grade, but for whatever reason cannot complete the class, you may request an incomplete.
- You may not take other classes in the certificate until the incomplete is removed.
- If you do not complete the work within six months, you will be assigned a failing grade and dropped from the certificate program.
- Students are required to download all the coursework from the course Web site before the course ends because once access to the course expires, it can not be extended.
Grades
- You must complete each certificate program course with a grade of "C" or better.
- "C-" is not a passing grade.
