Payment
Registration
To attend hands-on courses, including free ones, you must register in advance. You may view the Training Catalog and register online. Mail payment, if applicable, to N42-290h (see Payment below). If you have any difficulties or questions, call 617.253.7685 or email istrain-reg@mit.edu.
Notification
When you register electronically, you receive immediate confirmation if you are successfully enrolled in the course. You will also receive an email reminder one week before the course.
Prerequisites
Some courses have prerequisites. Without the prerequisite course or equivalent experience, you may not be able to understand the material and keep up with the instructor's presentation. This knowledge is your responsibility. In addition, many IS&T courses need to be taken in a particular sequence. Refer to the IS&T Course Map for specific requirements by course topic.
Eligibility
All IS&T courses are open to members of the MIT community, including Alumni. Spouses and family members of MIT faculty and staff are eligible to attend. If, however, their seat is needed for a current MIT student, faculty or staff member, we may have to reschedule them for a future class.
Cancellations/Refunds
If you must cancel your registration in a course, please do so as early as possible so the next person on the waiting list can take your place in the course.
Class Cancellations
IS&T Training Services may cancel training courses if fewer than five students enroll. Training Services will notify registrants if a training session is cancelled and will refund fees where applicable.
Canceling Your Enrollment/Refund Policy (for fee-based classes)
If you are unable to attend a course in which you have enrolled, please provide Training Services with at least five full business days advance notice. Cancellations received at least five full business days prior to the start of a course, will receive a full refund. Cancellations received after that date will be charged the full course fee. To cancel your enrollment online go to SAPweb Self-Service (ESS) Training tab and choose "My Training".
Canceling due to Emergency
Registered participants who are unable to attend a course due to an emergency should have their manager or a department representative email the IS&T Training Registrar at istrain-reg@mit.edu (or call 617.253.7685) before 9:00 a.m. on the day of the course, or 2 hours prior to the start of an afternoon course. If the registered participant is unable to attend the course, a substitute is welcome to take their place.
Late Cancellation Fee (for free hands-on classes)
Beginning November 1, 2008, a $50.00 late cancellation fee will be charged to participants who fail to cancel their registration five full business days prior to the start of a free hands-on course. This fee applies only to free hands-on classes that require registration (this does not include Quick Starts) The classes will remain free to those who attend. For participants that are unable to attend a course due to illness or an emergency, please see Canceling due to Emergency. To cancel your enrollment online go to SAPweb Self-Service (ESS), click on the Training tab and choose "My Training".
