Refund Policy at SCPS

Cancellation Policy
All classes are offered with the expectation of a particular minimum number of participants. If this minimum is not achieved 10 days prior to the start of the class, the class will be cancelled. Those who have registered will receive a full refund, or the opportunity to convert their registration to another class. The School of Continuing and Professional Studies reserves the right to modify, withdraw, or make substitutions for any announced classes and to change instructors.  

Refund Policy
All requests for refunds must be made to the Regional Center. The date of the postmark, FAX, email or in-person written request determines the amount of any refund.  Notice to an instructor or sponsoring agency does not constitute an official request to withdraw from a class and to receive a refund.

Refunds for Credit Classes

100% refunds are automatically granted when a class is cancelled.

100% refunds are granted before the class begins.

 80% refunds are granted after the first class but before the second class begins.

 No refunds after the second class

Refunds for Noncredit Classes

100% refunds are automatically granted when a class is cancelled.

100% refunds are granted up to one week prior to the beginning of the program or the first class meeting.

Refunds for Online Classes

100% refunds are automatically granted when a class is cancelled.

100% refunds are granted before the class begins.

80% refunds are granted seven days after the class begins

No refunds after seven days

For example, if the posted starting date for your online class is January 20, then the last day to drop and receive an 80% refund is January 27. After January 27, there will be no refund.

Students must activate their U.Va. email account. They then need to log into Blackboard as soon as possible, prior to the day their online class starts, to ensure that there are no hardware problems or firewall issues that will prevent them from taking the online class. If such issues are not resolved prior to the refund deadline, no refund will be granted.
