Cancellation and Refund Policy

Purpose: The Nursing Continuing Professional Development and Entrepreneurial Enterprise Department ensures fair business practices in conducting educational activities.

Policy: Participants are able to cancel their attendance to educational activities according to established procedures for Cancellation and Refunding fees.

Procedure:

  • Payment of the educational activity fee is encouraged as part of pre-registration to secure their place and to ensure sufficient number of registrants for each activity.
  • Cancellation must be made in writing via email to nsgconted@lsuhsc.edu one week prior to the scheduled educational activity. Refunds for cancellation after this deadline will be made only at the discretion of the School of Nursing Dean.
  • Refunds minus a $25 administrative fee will be honored if notification in writing is received one week prior to the educational activity (or as specified for the individual program).
  • No refunds will be provided after the educational activity has begun. No refunds will be provided if the participant leaves after the activity has begun for any reason.
  • The School of Nursing reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any educational activity due to an insufficient number of registrants or for any reason deemed necessary.
  • If the School of Nursing cancels an educational activity, all parties involved in this course are not responsible for any related cost or expenses, including but not limited to, cancellation/change charges assessed by airlines, hotel fees, any travel related expenditures, etc.
  • Immediate cash refunds are not provided when an educational activity is cancelled, regardless of the type of payment made.
  • A $25 NSF fee will be charged for all checks with insufficient funds.
  • If you register for an educational activity and have paid in full but don’t attend, you forfeit the entire registration fee.
  • Online Educational Activities/Courses:
  • Request for refund for payment of online courses must be made in writing and emailed to nsgconted@lsuhsc.edu. The request must include the title of the course, the payment date and amount and brief reason for cancellation and request for refund.
  • All administrative fees apply for refund of online courses.

Once the participant has begun the online course/educational activity, no refund will be granted. This includes registering on the learning management system (MOODLE or Tovuti).
