Cancellation Policy
The organizers expect the participant to be present if she/he has registered for a course and if this course takes place online. If you cannot attend, you must inform IPBO@vib-ugent.be at least one week before the course.
If trainees do not participate in the training activities without timely notification or valid justification (medical attestation in case of illness, a clarification by your group leader in any other case), participants will not be admitted to any future training course for six months following the ‘no-show’.
We expect participants to attend all the sessions for courses consisting of several days. Attendance certificates will only be awarded to those participants attending all the course’s training days or 80% of the lectures when a written justification for absence will be provided. Whenever the course director requests, the awarding of training certificates will also be bound to the submission of class assignments.
Please, help us! When registered participants do not show up and do not inform us, their training slot gets lost, meaning nobody else will benefit from this opportunity. Give way to others who can benefit from this training if you experience any challenges attending. This policy will support those genuinely committed to their professional development pathway. Thank you.
