USILD is at hard work to make its registration policies and procedures as simple as possible so that you can quickly and easily register for open enrollment courses. Following these procedures maximizes your chance of enrolling in the class you want, when you want it. Register early; class sizes are limited and classes often fill quickly! If you have questions or need additional information, please contact our Customer Relations Center at custome.relations@usild.edu 

​

We also conduct hundreds of on-site contract courses each year and can create customized solutions to meet your specific organizational needs.

​

Cancellations

 a) By the USILD

• USILD reserves the right to cancel a class session. If circumstances cause us to cancel a class, we will inform the participant if we need to cancel, but will retain the prepaid tuition or registration forms until the participant or employer informs us to either: (1) refund the money or return the registration forms; (2) transfer the prepaid tuition amount or registration forms toward tuition for another scheduled course for the same person; or (3) transfer the prepaid tuition amount or registration forms toward tuition for another scheduled course for another person.

​

 b) By the Participant

• All enrollment cancellation requests must be submitted in writing by email or fax to our Customer Relations Center. If you do not cancel your registration in a timely manner, you will be responsible for the full tuition. To judge whether or not a request is timely,  USILD will use the minimum advance notice requirements listed in our refunds policy.

​

Transfers

• A transfer is defined as the movement of your registration to a future session of the same course. If you are interested in transferring your registration to a future session of the same course, please fax or email your request to our Customer Relations Center. You may transfer your registration to another class that begins within six months from the start date of the original registration. A transfer will be processed only if requested in writing, submitted in a timely manner, payment is made for any additional fees, and space is available in the requested class. Only one transfer request will be honored. The transferred registration can be used by anyone in your organization if the tuition was paid by your employer. Refunds will not be made for transfers that originated after any official refund deadline.

​

• USILD reserves the right to judge the timeliness of a transfer request. To judge whether or not a request is timely, USILD will use the minimum advance notice requirements listed in our refunds policy. If the transfer cannot be accommodated, the respective refunds policy for the course will apply.

​

• You cannot transfer your registration to a different course. You must cancel your registration in the first course and then register for the new course. See our cancellations policy.

​

• Attendance and Course Hours Courses are conducted from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., except for some designated courses, which run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Participants are expected to complete the entire course and should make their travel arrangements accordingly. Failure to attend the entire course may result in your not receiving a certificate of completion for the course.

​

• Reserved Rights USILD makes every effort to ensure each class is delivered as advertised. However, we reserve the right to make changes to any of the products or programs described on our website or our published catalogs/brochures without notice or liability.

USILD endeavors to give enrollees as much advance notice as possible of any change to their enrollment.
