• Registration Guide 

• FHSU Employee Registration Guide Due to an error in the portal, employees are unable to self-associate to their Division's group at this time. If you are an FHSU employee and need to associate to your Division's group, please contact pce@fhsu.edu. 

• To drop a course, login to your profile on the Learner Portal and navigate to Registration History. Select Request Drop for the course you wish to drop.   

• Dropping a course prior to the drop deadline will delete the course from your learner record. You may be eligible for a refund depending on when you request the drop (See Refund Policy below for PCE programs for more information).  

• After the drop deadline has passed, a request to leave the program is considered a withdrawal and will be marked on your learner record. To request a withdrawal, you must submit written notice via email to pce@fhsu.edu.

You may request a transfer into another program, providing enrollment for both programs is still open, you meet the requirements or prerequisites for that program, and there are seats available. If there is a difference in cost between the two programs, you will be required to pay the difference or may be eligible for a refund, depending on when the request was made. Transfers are subject to staff approval.

Occasionally, situations arise in which FHSU PCE might have to cancel a program, limit program size, change times, substitute facilitators, or make other changes to program offerings. Any necessary substitutions or changes will be made with the intent of maintaining or enhancing the original purpose and integrity of the offering. In the event that FHSU PCE cancels a program, registered participants will receive a full refund of tuition paid. Application fees and certain special request fees are non-refundable.

• PCE programs do not qualify for traditional FHSU financial aid programs. 

• FHSU Employees: Vice Presidents will fund FHSU employee registration in select PCE programming. FHSU's Tuition Assistance Program does not apply to PCE programming; however, faculty/staff professional development funding may be utilized for programming that is not funded by the vice presidents. Applications for faculty/staff professional development funding must be submitted by the employee and approved through the appropriate chain of command. 

Learners who drop a program more than 14 days prior to the start date will receive a 100% refund of their registration fees. Dropping a program 7-14 days prior to the start date will be refunded 50% of their registration fees. Dropping less than 7 days prior to the start date will garner a 25% refund. Any drops occurring on or after the start date of the program will receive no refund. Any no shows on the date of the event will receive no refund. Refunds may be issued to the original form of payment by credit card, or as credit to the learner account for use toward another program. Exceptions to this policy will be made on a case-by-case basis.
