Open Enrollment Courses

  • Transfers: Transferring to another course many be done if a written notice is received by PERI at least 10 days prior to the start of the program. Transfers will not be honored after this date. If the fee for the replacement course is more than what is available to transfer, you will be responsible for paying the difference and your registration will not be confirmed until we receive payment.

Transfers will be honored for one year from the date of the original course. After one year, your registration fee will be forfeited.

Webinars

  • Cancellation: Refunds will be honored (less a $50.00 processing fee) If written notice is received by PERI at least five business days prior to the start of the program. Refunds will not be honored after this date.
  • If PERI must cancel a course due to technical difficulties, weather conditions or for any other reason, PERI will issue a full refund of registration fees paid.

Distance Education Courses

  • Definition: PERI offers some courses in a blended format, that is, the course may contain live and distance learning components (i.e. on-line courses and/or webinars). The course fee covers both the open enrollment and distance learning components for a single registrant; students cannot elect to register for only one component of the course. Registration cannot be split between students.
  • Terms and Conditions: Upon registering for a blended course, the student will be given information on how to access the distance education component of the course. Students will have the specific access period for each course to complete the distance education component. This time period begins when a student registers for a blended course. Students may request an extension in writing no later than 30 days after the last day of the open enrollment course, and there will be a fee of $100.00 for every 30 days of extended access.
  • Cancellation: All cancellation and transfer request must be in writing and sent by email to registrar@peri.org. Substitutions or transfers to another course are allowed if no component of the blended education course has been accessed. If the on-line course or webinar has been accessed by the student for ANY length of time, the price of the distance education component as a stand-alone course will be assessed. A fee based on the open enrollment cancellation schedule will be charged on the remaining registration balance. If the distance education course is not completed within 30 days the last day of the open enrollment component, no refund for any portion of the on-line course or webinar will be provided unless an extension is requested and the extension fee paid.

Blended Education Courses

  • Cancellation: Refunds will be honored (less a $100.00 enrollment fee) if written notice is received by PERI before accessing the course. Once you have accessed the course for any amount of time, cancellations and transfers will not be issued.
  • Extensions: If you are not able to complete the distance education course in the time allotted, you may request an extension. Requests for an extension must be made in writing, and there will be a fee of $100.00 for every 30 days of extended access.
