Missed Class Time
As a noncredit academic center, our in-person courses do not have exams or letter grades. Passing a course is solely based on full attendance and participation. Students should make sure that their name is called during attendance. Students who miss more than 20% of any individual course must make up the missed time during a future section of the course to pass. Please contact cepe.certificates@pdx.edu if you need to miss class time or have any questions.
Cancellations
If insufficient enrollment or any other significant reason necessitates the cancellation of a course, we will contact those students who have registered, and course fees will be refunded minus the credit card fee.
Length of Program
Courses can be taken individually or applied to a certificate. CEPE aspires to allow students up to 3 years to complete a certificate program; however, CEPE's program offerings can fluctuate due to market/community demand. Therefore, we reserve the right to cancel or revise a program at any time. This means that CEPE does not guarantee the completion of any certificate, so if certificate completion is a student's goal, we encourage completion as quickly as possible when courses are available.
