Course Cancellations or Changes
The Professional Development Center is self-supporting and therefore might have to cancel courses due to insufficient enrollment or other conditions. In such a case, registrants are notified as soon as possible and fees are refunded. Sometimes changes in course content, instructor, or scheduling are also necessary. Participants are notified of any changes in scheduling. The Professional Development Center reserves the right, without prior notification to participants, to make whatever changes are deemed necessary for the effective operation of courses and seminars.
Refund and Payment Policy
Noncredit refund
Notification of withdrawal or drop must be
given, and requests for refunds for noncredit
courses must be received at least one week
prior to the first class session. Refunds are
not given after this time. Withdrawal or drop
must be done by email to pdc@pdx.edu or to
your program manager’s email address.
Please allow four to six weeks for processing.
Credit refund
Refund of the credit portion of the fee only is
based on the Portland State University fee
refund schedule.
| 100% | refund before 1st class meeting |
| 85% | refund before 2nd class meeting |
| 50% | refund before 3rd class meeting |
| 25% | refund before 4th class meeting |
Please note that a full refund of credit fee is available only before the first class meeting. If a student is unsure whether to add the credit option of a course, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor for specific credit completion requirements prior to the start of the course. Please call the Professional Development Center for information on how to contact instructors.
Please allow four to six weeks for refund processing.
