As the registrant, your in-person activity package may include nutritional breaks and/or meals (refer to the program agenda). Therefore, your activity lanyard must be worn throughout the event. If a pre-approved guest accompanies you to the activity, their meals are at their own cost and will be billed directly if applicable.
The University reserves the right to cancel a course due to insufficient registration or any circumstances that are beyond our control. Cancellations received 14 days prior to the date of the session will be refunded less a 25% administrative fee to a maximum of $50.00. No refunds will be issued for cancellations received after this date.
A written acknowledgement of your registration will be sent prior to the activity. Receipts are emailed at the time of registration, and an additional email will be sent after the activity, confirming your certificate of attendance is ready to download or print. Your registration is not complete unless a confirmation is received. If you have not received a confirmation within seven days of registration, please contact the CPD office.
For those with dietary needs for an in-person event, some accommodation may be available. Contact the event coordinator for details.
