Online course refund

There are no refunds for registrants of online courses.

Classroom course refund

MHSRC may cancel a course due to insufficient enrollment, weather-related emergencies, or other unforeseen circumstances. MHSRC will call and/or email registrants to notify them of any class related changes. If a course is canceled, registrants can choose to transfer to another course or receive a full refund.

Registrants may withdraw from a course if they provide at least five full business days' notice before the course date. If less than five full business days' notice is given, no refunds will be issued.

If you wish to change your course dates, please notify us at least two full business days before the scheduled class date and time. No additional fees will be charged for rescheduling within this timeframe.
