Payment in full is required for international and residential programs. An approved government PO does not guarantee registration for these programs. Pricing for internationally based programs is subject to changes in exchange rates, which may cause increases in course fees up to 30 days prior to the program start date. Program fees and course schedules are subject to change without notice. Please call or see invidivual course web pages for the most current information regarding program fees and schedules. Brookings does not assume responsibility for travel costs if, for any reason, Brookings Executive Education cancels a course. We will make every effort to immediately notify participants of a cancellation and will work with participants to find an appropriate course into which they can transfer. Such transfers will not be subject to the transfer fees discussed below.

Cancellations, Substitutions, and Transfers
Written notice is required for all cancellations, transfers and substitutions. Send correspondence to registrar@brookings.edu or fax to 202.797.4363.
- International and residential programs require at least a 45-day notification for cancellations and/or transfer in order for the participant to receive full credit or refund. No partial refunds or credits are offered fewer than 45 days prior to the start date of the program.
- All other programs require notification at least 30 calendar days prior to the start date of the program. Cancellations submitted after these deadlines will be subject to full fees and participants will be billed in accordance with these policies. Additional charges may be assessed in cases where educational materials were mailed out prior to receiving a cancellation notice. Failure to notify Brookings Executive Education of a cancellation will result in complete forfeiture of the full program fee.
- Transfer credits can be applied toward another program with a start date within 12 months from the date we receive a cancellation notice. A participant may only transfer once without penalty. Failure to register for a program within 12 months will result in complete forfeiture of the full program fee. A transferee will be required to pay any tuition fee increase that occurs between the original and new program. Discounts do not apply to the transfer of credits. Payment of any difference is expected at the time of transfer. Substitutions are allowed without penalty and strongly encouraged. However, Brookings Executive Education reserves the right to accept or reject substitutes for programs requiring minimum management levels.
