Hi Kdag,
Is this a recent development? I did get a full refund on the SELP section but by then, they had had my money on the Forum and Advanced course. But I remember even on those weekend sessions, they said we could have had a full refund on either of them if we wanted. I think we had 1 day to decide that though. ie: by the end of day1. I did this in 2010, so maybe this is new?
