These vary from $25 to $135. For those programs with multiple sessions, attendance requirements vary between 85% and 100% in order to avoid the non-attendance fee. Students must sign the attendance sheet as a record of their attendance.

If you can not attend 100% of the workshop due to unforeseeable circumstances beyond your control, and you have missed the drop deadline, you can request the fee be waived by contacting GradProSkills by email.  You must explain and attach proof to justify your absense, as well as include the workshop code and your student number.  Valid unforeseeable and/or extraordinary circumstances may include:

• A serious illness or severe injury
• A recent death in your immediate family
• Assuming unexpected responsibilities of an immediate family member due to serious illness
• Fire

To avoid a non-attendance fee, enrolled students must drop the workshop before the advertised drop deadline for the particular workshop. The number of days are calculated as calendar days and does not include the start date of the workshop.

The deadlines follow the following format:

• French conversation groups must be dropped 21 days in advance of the start date.
• Multiple-session workshops must be dropped 11 days in advance of the workshop start date. 
• Single-session workshops must be dropped 5 days in advance of the workshop start date.

You are expected to arrive prior to the start of the workshop.

• No lates allowed - students will not be admitted to the class after 5 minutes of the scheduled time of the beginning of the workshop. Students arriving later will be marked as absent and charged an non-attendance fee.

GradProSkills services are available to:

• Currently enrolled Concordia graduate students enrolled in a masters, doctoral, diploma or certificate program
• Recent Concordia graduates (of the above noted programs) up to two terms after they have completed their program
• Current Concordia Postdoctoral Researchers
• Visiting students enrolled in graduate courses at Concordia

Graduate students who are on a leave of absence or who have not yet started their courses are not eligible for GradProSkills services.

Concordia undergraduate students, staff and faculty are not eligible to attend GradProSkills workshops. However, in some cases, a workshop will be jointly offered to other members of the Concordia community.  In these cases, an alternative registration process will exist and you can obtain details by contacting GradProSkills. 

When workshops are full, students may register as waitlisted. Should a space become available, waitlisted students will be automatically registered and notified. If a student no longer wishes to be on a waitlist, they must contact the office before the workshop drop deadline.

Certain special offerings may require a registration fee, as indicated in the workshop description. 

Participants are not permitted to record a class. Accomodations can be made for students with disabilities who provide adequate documentation from the Access Centre for Students with Disabilities.

Students may be registered for a maximum of 15 GradProSkills workshops per semester. 

GradProSkills reserves the right to cancel any course, workshop or event due to insufficient registration.
