Cancellation Policy

In order to provide MOST programming on a continuing basis, we require registration fees to be paid in full (or for Professional Development funding applications submitted to our office) at least five business days before the workshop. If you must withdraw from a workshop, please do so five business days before the workshop begins to secure a full refund. We are not able to offer refunds on workshop fees for late course withdrawals. In order to avoid cancellation fees we encourage substitutions, however it is the department’s responsibility to find an alternate participant to attend.

Please notify Winnie Kam at the MOST Registration Desk at least five business days prior to the start of the workshop in order to receive a full refund (e.g. for a workshop beginning on a Wednesday notice of cancellation must be received by 4:30 pm the preceding Tuesday). MOST Registration Desk: mostreg@hr.ubc.ca, 604.822.9644.

If the minimum number of registrants for a course is not reached, the course will be cancelled. Enrollees will be contacted and a full refund will be provided.
