Registration, Payment, and Payment Plans

Register Early
To ensure your place in a class and to avoid cancellation due to insufficient enrollment, please register as soon as possible, and no later than two weeks before your course or workshop is scheduled to begin. Registration at least three weeks in advance is recommended.

Alumni Discount
We are pleased to offer our alumni 20% off noncredit registration (some exclusions may apply). Please see individual class or workshop web pages—eligible offerings will provide an alumni registration option. No discounts can be applied to registrations for graduate degree-applicable or graduate continuing education credit. 

Payment
Payment for noncredit workshops is due at the time of registration. Tuition for credit-bearing registrations are also due at the time of registration. We accept checks, and major debit or credit cards.

If your employer will directly pay Lewis & Clark for your registration fee or tuition you must first contact cce@lclark.edu to set up a sponsored billing arrangement. This must be done prior to registration and with as much advance notice as possible to secure your place in the class or workshop and to allow adequate time for processing of the billing arrangement. We may be unable to process sponsored billing arrangements requested with less than 14 business days’ notice. 

Payment Plans
Payment plans are available for select events. All payment(s) must be made in full no later than 6 weeks prior to the start of the event.

After an initial payment is received, an email payment notification(s) will be sent to complete follow-up payments (this process is not automatic and requires the registrant to submit subsequent payments). A registration will NOT be considered complete UNTIL the registration fee is paid in full.

Payment notification email(s) will be sent 5 business days prior to the deadline for each payment. Payments must be submitted by the payment due date. Payments may also be made before the due date.

If a payment is not made by the due date, the registration may be canceled and any amount already paid toward a payment plan will be refunded unless the missed payment is the final payment and the 6 week cut off has been missed. Please contact cce@lclark.edu or 503-768-6040 for any questions.


 Cancellations/Refunds

The Center for Community Engagement reserves the right to cancel any class that does not reach a minimum enrollment before or at the first class meeting. A full refund will be made for all classes canceled by Lewis & Clark. To cancel an enrollment, please email cce@lclark.edu or call 503-768-6040. 

  • Workshops (including non-residential retreats): Cancellations must be received at least three full business days (72 hours) prior to the first class meeting for a refund. 

    Courage to Lead in-person retreats: Cancellations must be received at least 6 weeks before the retreat start date for a full refund. Cancellations made within 6 weeks of the retreat start date will receive a refund minus a $150 cancellation fee.

  • Credit-bearing classes: Registrants wishing to cancel are required to complete an official add/drop form (please contact cce@lclark.edu for questions). Ceasing to attend a class, whether or not you have notified the instructor does not relieve you of this responsibility. After the first day of class, a $25 late drop fee will be assessed and tuition will be prorated according to the tuition refund schedule. Course fees are nonrefundable.
