Course-by-Course Registration

As you browse through our program offerings, you will notice the “Register Now” button at the end of each course description. Clicking the “Register Now” button takes you to the registration form for the course. If you do not see the “Register Now” button, it either means there is no current session for that course or that the current session is full. Look for directions on whom to contact for information on future sessions, or for how to be added to a waiting list.

Registering Multiple People

A separate registration form must be completed for each registrant and each program. After entering the first registrant, click “Add Additional Registrant” button found on the order summary page to add an additional person. This process can be repeated to add all your registrants to the same program.

Payment

Most classes require full payment at the time of registration. You may choose from a variety of payment methods: check, company purchase order (P.O.), money order or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express). Checks should be made payable to “University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.” Credit card payment for existing registration orders can be made via our Payment Portal.

Program Cancellations/Refunds

The following policy does not apply to Osher Travel or College for Kids/Teens programs, which have no-refund policies:

Participants are required to pay course fees in full prior to the first day of class. A full refund is issued to program participants if the School of Continuing Education cancels a program for any reason. If a participant withdraws at least 10 business days prior to the start of a program, a 100% refund will be issued. If a participant withdraws less than 10 business days prior to the program start, a one-time transfer of fees to any currently available program is allowed; otherwise, the participant will receive a refund minus a 20% administrative fee. No refund will be given once a program has begun. No refund will be issued for programs with a fee of $35 or less. For on-demand online programs without a specified start date, no refund will be issued once a participant has accessed the online learning environment. Some courses allow registration without immediate payment. If you register for such a course, you are required to pay course fees in full prior to the first day of class. If you do not pay the course fee, do not cancel, and do not participate in the course, you will be responsible for a 20% administrative fee which must be paid within 60 days of the course start date.

The participant maintains full responsibility for the course fee.

Certificates will not be awarded to any participant with a balance due.

School of Continuing Education participants traveling from out of town will make their own reservations for travel and overnight accommodations. Please note that the School of Continuing Education will not provide refunds for travel expenses incurred when a program is canceled. We recommend booking travel and hotel accommodations that are refundable or transferable.
