How soon do I have to register? When will the course fill up?
We recommend that you register as soon as possible so that you can secure your place, and we can prepare the proper amount of course materials/notebooks. You can tentatively register; however, we ask that you let us know your plans as soon as possible. To find available space in a specific course, please call 785-864-5823, or toll free in the U.S. 877-404-5823, or e-mail kuce@ku.edu
May I transfer from one course to another without a financial penalty?
Yes. You may transfer as long as space is available. If the course you transfer into is more expensive, we will bill you for the difference. If the course is less expensive, we will refund the difference.
Can a company substitute one enrollee for another without an additional charge?
Yes.
I am receiving invoices for a future course in which I am enrolled, even though my organization cannot pay until after I have attended the course. What should I do?
Please contact us at kuce@ku.edu or call 785-864-5823, or toll free in the U.S. at 877-864-5823 and explain that your company or agency is unable to pay before the course is held. We regret any inconvenience that it may cause for you to receive invoices before you are able to pay. You will still be registered for the course.
Who comes to your public courses?
Generally, our participants are professionals who are college graduates. Many have advanced degrees.
People from all over the world, as well as the United States, come to our public courses. Last year people from 23 countries, and 34 states and the District of Columbia attended. All courses are taught in English.
How many people are usually in a course?
Last year our average course size was 23 participants.
Can I receive continuing education credits for taking a short course?
Yes. You receive one CEU for 10 hours of instructional time (i.e. a 21-hour-class is worth 2.1 CEUs). CEUs are printed on each participant’s certificate of attendance. CEUs may not be used for college credit.
When do you decide to cancel a course due to low enrollment?
We usually make the decision to cancel a course two weeks before the course starts. In the event a course is cancelled, the University of Kansas’ liability is limited to the registration fee.
Where do I stay?
We have reserved a limited number of hotel rooms for the courses. In order to receive the discounted rate, you must state that you are attending a University of Kansas Aerospace Short Course and make a reservation by a specific date. Those who make their reservations after the reserved rooms are filled and/or after the deadline, may not receive the Aerospace Short Course discount. Visit this link for travel and lodging information. Information will also be mailed to you. We especially encourage people to make their hotel reservations well in advance for San Diego courses.
Are Internet connections available?
All the listed hotels have in-room Internet access and business centers. Internet usage fees are the responsibility of the participant.
Are workout facilities available?
Yes. Hotels have either an exercise room or an affiliation with a local health club.
What do I wear?
Casual, comfortable clothes are appropriate for all courses. Room temperatures are difficult to control so always bring a jacket—even in warm weather. Dressing in layers is best.
Can you accommodate my special meal requirements and dietary restrictions?
Meals are served buffet style so you can select food that is appropriate for your life style. However, it is helpful if you let us know in advance what your dietary restrictions are.
I plan to bring a guest with me. Can he/she join us for meals?
We are delighted to include guests in our course meals. However, to attend the lunches, we need to know a week before the course. Guest lunches are approximately $35.
Will we get out early the last day of the course?
We cannot predict this. The number of people in the course and the depth of discussion determine the length of the course on the last afternoon. You should plan to stay until the time specified.
How much course material will there be?
The amount of material varies from course to course. Most courses have a notebook; many have a text and a notebook. The approximate weight and size of the materials are on the confirmation letter. We encourage you to bring an extra suitcase or bag for your materials.
The hotel you suggested did not give me a special rate. What should I do?
If you are trying to reserve a room after the room block deadline, the hotel is not under any obligation to provide rooms at the special rate. Please contact Pam Curtis at 913-864-8526 or e-mail pcurtis@ku.edu for assistance with hotel questions.
When you contacted the hotel, did you state that you were attending a University of Kansas aerospace short course or give the proper group code?
For the Doubletree Guest Suites Southcenter, Seattle, Wash., the group code is UOK.
For the Marriott Bethesda, Bethesda, Md., the group code is UOKUOKA.
For the Marriott Mission Valley, San Diego, Calif., the group code is UVKUKA.
For the Orlando Airport Marriott, Orlando, Florida, the group code is uokuoka.
I can’t attend this year. May I buy the course notebook?
We apologize, but we do not sell the course notes. Most of the textbooks we use can be purchased from www.amazon.com.
Will you offer the same courses next year? When will the 2009 course schedule be available?
Most of our courses are offered at least once every year. However, courses on very specialized subjects may not be offered each year. Check this Web site in late October for the public course schedule for 2009. If you would like to receive e-mail notification when the schedule is posted, please e-mail kuce@ku.edu to be added to our mailing list.
Can you hold a course at my company?
Please contact our program manager in charge of on-site courses, Soma Chakrabarti, at 785-864-7855, aerosite@ku.edu. She will be glad to discuss this with you, and with no obligation on your part.
How can I get on your mailing list? How can I correct my name and/or address? How can I get off your mailing list?
You may e-mail kuce@ku.edu to give us any additions or corrections to your name and/or address. If you have attended one of our public courses or inquired about our program, you should already be on our mailing list.
We cannot make corrections on lists that are leased from other organizations. If you receive more than one brochure, please pass one along to someone who might be interested in our courses. KU Continuing Education does not share, sell, or rent its mailing lists.
