Withdrawal & Refund Policies

Please contact Center for Professional Education by email, phone, or mail to cancel a class.  You must follow the official withdrawal policy and meet the established deadlines to qualify for a refund.  Ceasing to attend classes or notifying your instructor that you are withdrawing does not constitute officially withdrawing and will not be recognized.
