Terms and Conditions

Covid-19 Policies: 

During this complicated time in history, we ask that students enrolling in OSHA courses track state and local Covid-19 requirements for planning purposes.  If courses are moved or cancelled, students may request to be moved to a different course location/dates or online within New England, Region 1, or receive tuition reimbursement.

Enrollment in the midst of a pandemic isn’t a guarantee the course will run if a state or locality changes the Covid rules of engagement.  We suggest checking into trip/travel insurance and cancellation policies for hotels, car rental and/or airfare.  This is particularly important planning during the pandemic, as situations are known to change.

 

Registration and Tuition:

Pre-registration is required for all courses at least five business days prior to the course start date. Preregistration For OSHA Standards (#510 / #511) and Outreach Trainer courses (#500 / #501) VILT/ONLINE courses where secure testing is required, registration forms must be submitted at least 7 business days prior to the course start date. This allows us to prepare for your attendance and documentation efficiently.  Please visit OSHAedNE.com for online registration and other applicable forms.  Published tuition fees may change without notice.

OSHA’s Directorate of Training and Education requires OSHA Education Centers to verify valid government ID in class: The student’s full and legal name must appear on the registration form. OTI Education Center instructors check student ID in the classroom by matching student name to a valid government ID. Examples of a valid government ID include: Diver’s licenses, Passport, U.S. military ID (active duty or retired military and their dependents, and DoD civilians ) or Permanent resident card. The certificate of completion, as well as College databases and transcripts, contain the student’s correct full and legal name.

OSHA courses may be cancelled 5 business days in advance if enrollment in not sufficient to conduct the course.

The course attendee is responsible for any and all tuition fees and charges associated with participation in Keene State College courses, and any fees as a result of collection associated with non-payment.

Keene State College accepts credits cards (MasterCard, VISA and DISCOVER), business or personal checks, money orders and company/organization purchase orders.

Withdrawal/Cancellation/ Refunds/Postponement

Refunds of tuition may be obtained in adherence to the following refund policy.

Check payments received by Keene State College are refunded by check only.  Payments by credit card will be refunded to the original card used at time of registration.  Allow 4-6 weeks processing time for refunds made by check at 2 weeks for refunds by credit card.

Withdrawal requests (in writing) will be accepted if received at least 5 business days prior to the course start date. In this event, students have the following options:  Transfer to another course with no additional charge or have the funds held on the student’s account for up to one year.  Non-payment of fees or not showing up for a confirmed course does not constitute a “withdrawal.”  No shows will forfeit tuition paid or be charged the full tuition fee.  No refund is granted for withdrawals after the course begins.  Substitution of another participant may be made, for no additional fee, prior to the start of the course.  Contact the OSHA Education Center promptly if substitution of participants is planned.  Please contact the Center immediately if you experience an unexpected extenuating circumstance affecting your timely attendance.

In New England, we have occasional inclement weather, and courses may be postponed or rescheduled.  Keene State College reserves the right to cancel or reschedule courses due to unforeseen circumstances.  Safety of our students is important to us.  If a course is cancelled by Keene State College, students have the option to transfer to another course, have their tuition held in escrow, or receive a refund.

Keene State College is not responsible for travel related expenses incurred by the student in the event of unforeseen delays, postponement and/or necessary cancellation or rescheduling. “Open enrollment” courses may be cancelled or rescheduled due to low enrollment within five business days.  If you are registered, you will be notified should a course be delayed, rescheduled, postponed or removed from the master calendar.
