Cancellation and no-show policy
This course is offered at no cost to PhD candidates of the UU Graduate School of Life Sciences (GSLS). However, "free of charge" does not mean "free of commitment." Once you register, we count on your attendance. Each late cancellation or no-show takes a spot from someone else who would have liked to participate. Therefore, the following policy applies:
-
You may cancel your registration without penalty up to one week before the course begins.
-
We expect participants to actively attend the entire course, or at a minimum 80% of it.
-
If these conditions are not met, a no-show fee of €250 will be charged.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
