Non-Credit Withdrawal and Cancellation Policy
Find information for UCPE noncredit course withdrawal and cancellation procedure.
UCPE policies
Cancellation fees are as follows:
10% of course tuition
Notification Procedure
Failure to attend a course does not entitle a registrant to a refund. Students must call the University of Chicago Professional Education (UCPE) at 773.834.2964 for initial cancellation.
Tuition Transfer
Students may apply tuition to another course offered by the UCPE, or they may transfer their tuition to another employee in their organization if they contact the UCPE program director or manager at least five business days prior to the start of the program.
Cancellation fees will apply to tuition transfer if students fail to abide by the cancellation policies.
Cancellation Policy
To obtain a full refund, registrants need to notify the UCPE of cancellation 5 business days or more prior to the first class* meeting (i.e., section start date/time). If the course is canceled by the UCPE, the student will receive a full refund.
* For online students: the first class meeting is based on the first day of the course (not the first synchronous session).
To obtain a refund minus a cancellation fee (10% of the course tuition), registrants need to notify the UCPE of cancellation less than 5 business days and no more than 24 hours after the first class* meeting (i.e., section start date/time).
* For online students: the first class meeting is based on the first day of the course (not the first synchronous session).
No refund will be given to registrants if they notify the UCPE of a course cancellation greater than 24 hours after the first class* meeting (i.e., section start date/time), unless the course has been cancelled by UCPE.
* For online students: the first class meeting is based on the first day of the course (not the first synchronous session).
