REGISTERING IN COURSES

Once you have registered and created an account, you may enroll in as many courses as desired at one time. Course enrollment is performed online processed through VeriSign using Secured Socket Layer (SSL) technology so your credit card information is encrypted and not retained. Once you have enrolled and PSI eCollege has been notified that your credit card charge is authorized, you will be redirected to the PSI eCollege to enter the course key code. You will receive an email containing a key code for each course you have paid for and may begin the course(s) in which you have enrolled immediately.

There are no refunds for not completing courses. You have unlimited time to complete a course and pass the tests to receive your certificate. Admission to the course is password-protected. You must use your own personal password and course key code each time you sign-in. There are no additional expenses for textbooks or course materials.

SCORES AND CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS

Course content and tests are in separate sections for each course unless otherwise noted.

To receive a passing grade,you must obtain a score of at least 80% on the final course examination. Each course in the catalog lists the accrediting body, if any, recognizing the course and the number of Continuing Education Unit credits ("CEU's"). This information is repeated at the beginning of each course.

When you successfully complete a PSI eCollege, you will be able to print out a Certificate of Completion from your own terminal. You must submit your certificate to the professional organization listed in the catalog and follow the professional organization's directions for receiving any CEU's for which you may be eligible.

It is your responsibility to contact your State licensing authority to find out whether PSI eCollege's online courses qualify for CEU's in your jurisdiction. PSI eCollege, Administrative Services, Inc., and their affiliates make no representations or warranties that any PSI eCollege courses meet the CEU requirements for any particular profession in any particular jurisdiction.
