Registration Questions: 8-week course
I want to register for CCH, but will need to miss a class or two – is that ok? Are the classes recorded?
It’s to the student’s advantage to attend all eight classes in order to get the most out of the course, as each class involves lectures, group discussions, and experiential exercises that are key components of the training process, but we understand that people have busy schedules and things come up.
Classes are recorded and available for students to stream for one month following the last class. While we do encourage live attendance, we also think there is still plenty to be gained by watching the recordings, especially if you are then able to do the breakout room exercises with your assigned peer support partner or other people in your cohort in the week between classes.
The main difference relates to documentation. Students who miss more than two classes will not get a certificate of attendance upon completion. Students taking the course for 14 CE Credits who miss more than one class will not receive any credits since no partial CE credits can be awarded.
Are there prerequisites for enrollment in CCH?
No. All of CCARE’s compassion courses are open to the public and no previous education or experience is required. The only admission criterion is that participants must be at least 18 years of age.
I’m Stanford staff – can I pay for the course with STAP funds?
Yes! You may request reimbursement from your STAP funds by submitting the request through your department’s administrator or manager. Unfortunately, CCARE cannot directly charge your STAP funds.
What’s the cancellation policy for course registration and how do I receive a refund?
Full refunds are available up to 2 weeks prior to the class start date. Cancellations between 2 weeks and 3 business days prior to the class start date incur a $75 cancellation fee. No refunds are available after 3 business days prior to the class start date.
