NOTE: Please read our Policies below before registering.


Policies:

Late Registration Policy- Participants are encouraged to register two (2) or more weeks prior to a course start date. This provides us with sufficient time to obtain and add logins, set up the listserv, direct participants to additional materials, etc. Registrations received one week prior to the course start date are considered late registrations. Please call to register. A late fee of $50 USD will apply to the full course tuition after this time. Although not optimal, we will take registrations through the first two days of the course.

Cancellation Policy-Cancellations must be received in writing 72 hours prior to start of course, and 50% of tuition will be refunded (refunds will be made within 30 days of receipt of request.) After this time no refunds will be given; however, registration may be transferred to another participant for the current offering only. Requests can be emailed to onlinece@umn.edu

Extension Policy-The Continuing Pharmacy Education Office encourages all participants to complete coursework once started. Our objective is to work with people to allow them to make the most of the learning experience. If the participant has run into unexpected personal, family or work related problems, extensions for assignments and quizzes may be requested. Whenever possible, we want participants to have the time to learn the materials, rather than rushing through just to finish.
 
Extensions are requested by filling out an Extension Request Form and submitting it online. Extensions are approved by the Course Coordinator. If a feasible extension agreement cannot be reached, the Course Coordinator may suggest that the participant complete the course at a later offering.  Participants may also request completion at a later offering. These situations are considered carry forwards.

Withdrawal Policy-Withdrawing from the course once it has started will forfeit all tuition paid. A participant may chose to complete the course at a later date if desired. Please see the Carry Forward policy.

Carry Forward Policy -In extreme cases where it is not possible to complete a course in its current offering, participants are charged a $50 USD carry forward fee. This reserves their spot and pays for access in the next offering. This fee will be assessed before access is granted to the course again. 

Employer reimbursement-See our Employer Reimbursement page for complete details.

Policy on Privacy and Confidentiality - The University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy Continuing Pharmacy Education protects personal information from improper disclosure. Participant can have access to their own records but prohibits release of such information to anyone else, except according to specific and legally defined exceptions.

All internet based courses are delivered in a password protected website. The following individuals have access to the course materials: participants, course director(s)/instructor(s), course coordinators, and the instructional support team. Only the course director(s)/instructor(s), course coordinators, and instructional support team have access to the participant list and grade book. It is only through personal disclosure on the discussion board/blog and/or in an online chat session (e-symposium) that other course participants may know your name and any other information you disclose.
