The form can be found at ocpe.vcu.edu/paralegal/enrollment.html and sent to the VCU OCPE via mail, fax, or email to the contact information found on the form. When completing this form, you should not register via the online portal. You will be registered by VCU OCPE and contacted regarding your first payment.
Cancellation/Refund Policy: You may cancel your registration up to two weeks before the program start date, and receive a full refund minus any credit card processing fees. After that date, no refunds will be given. Cancellations must be received via email at ocpe@vcu.edu. Participants may transfer to a future program within one year of your original program, based on availability, with no penalty. Participant substitutions will be accepted up to two business days before the start of the program.
In the unlikely event that this program is cancelled or postponed due to insufficient enrollments or unforeseen circumstances, the university will fully refund registration fees, but cannot be held responsible for any other expenses, including change or cancellation charges to include but not limited to airlines, hotels, travel agencies, or other organizations.
