Guidelines for participation

• We expect course participants to participate with dedication and regularity.
• If the course cannot be attended as originally planned, registration must be formally cancelled so that candidates on the waiting list can be included.
• Non-attendance without formal cancellation, or irregular participation without an acceptable excuse is considered as unexcused absence.
• We may consider further training requests from participants who did not comply with above mentioned points with low priority.
• For DIPP students, successfully completed courses will be officially recognized and certified by the instructor and the PhD Program Office.
• Participants are expected to contribute to the evaluation and further development of the course by completing an evaluation questionnaire.
