Policies

Cancellations and Refunds

CE will grant refunds for all cancellations received in writing, email, or phone call at least 15 days prior to the course date. CE retains a $25 registration fee when a refund is issued for courses less than $249 and a fee of $50 for courses that are $250 or more.

GSDM does not conduct refunds for application fees or seat deposits for any of our programs, including International Preceptorship, Specialty Treatment Center Observation Program, Postdoctoral Preceptorship Program, or the Dental Assistant Training Program.

CE will grant a full refund if the School must cancel a course due to unforeseen circumstances. The School will contact all registrants at the time of cancellation. CE is not responsible for reimbursement of a non-refundable airline ticket or other travel arrangements if a course is cancelled.

Continuing Dental Education Credits

All participants are required to sign-in at the start of the course. Continuing Dental Education credits (CEUs) are awarded based on attendance.

A Verification of Participation will be issued to each participant at the end of the course verifying attendance and the number of Continuing Education Credits earned.

Continuing education credits issued for participation in a CE activity may not apply toward license renewal in all licensing jurisdictions. It is the responsibility of each participant to verify the CE requirements of his/her licensing or regulatory agency.

Participants should retain the Verification of Participation for their records. Reprints may be obtained from Continuing Education for $10.00 each.

Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships

Members of the Continuing Education planning committee have no relevant financial relationships to disclose.
