Program Date Changes
Berkeley Law Executive Education reserves the right to cancel programs and/or change program dates.
If we will not offer the program at a future date, we will handle the situation in one of the following ways:
- We will refund your paid tuition in full.
- We will work with you to identify another one of our programs that meets your professional development objectives and then apply your previously paid tuition to the replacement program. If the tuition of the replacement program is less than the original program’s tuition, we will reimburse the balance to you in full.
If we reschedule a program and the new date is not convenient for you, we will do one of the following:
- Substitute your participation with that of a qualified colleague at no additional cost.
- Issue you a full tuition refund.
