How To Pay for Your Online CPE Course
Secure Your Spot in a Course
To officially register for the course you need, we require payment or an official promise of payment for the full course fee at the time of registration.
- Payments can be received by Visa or MasterCard or by checks made payable to George Mason University.
- Official promise of payments include an invoice with a P.O. number, as well as an SF 182 (Standard Form 182: Request, Authorization, Agreement, and Certification for Training).
If your employer has agreed to pay for your course, you need to follow your company's guidelines for payment or reimbursement. Please note that we will provide an invoice to an organization, however, you're ultimately responsible for any balance due.
