1. Cancellation Period: There is typically a specified period within which participants can cancel their enrollment in a course without penalty. This period may vary from a few days to a few weeks before the course start date.
2. Refund Policy: The refund policy dictates whether participants will receive a full or partial refund if they cancel within the specified cancellation period. Sometimes, there may be administrative fees deducted from the refund amount.
3. Late Cancellations: Cancellations made after the specified cancellation period may not be eligible for a refund, or only partial refunds may be granted.
4. Course Postponement or Cancellation: The organization may reserve the right to postpone or cancel a course due to unforeseen circumstances, such as low enrollment, instructor unavailability, or other reasons. In such cases, participants may be offered a full refund or the option to transfer their enrollment to a future course.
5. Transfer Policy: Some institutions allow participants to transfer their enrollment to another course or session within a certain timeframe and subject to availability.
6. Special Circumstances: Institutions may have provisions for special circumstances such as medical emergencies or other valid reasons for cancellation outside of the standard policy.
