TOPS Policies
TOPS workshops are free of charge to Faculty, Staff and currently enrolled students at GMU. These workshops are not for credit and pre-registration is required.
Workshop Cancellation Policy
TOPS reserves the right to cancel a workshop or offer alternative methods of education if there is insufficient enrollment for any workshop. For workshops that are offered at the Arlington and Prince William campuses we require 4 registrants in order to hold the workshop.
Cancellation Policy
If you are unable to attend the workshop you are registered for, please go to tops.gmu.edu Please follow the steps listed to drop your workshop:
1. Click on Workshops.
2. Click on View or Drop Your Workshops.
3. Click on Drop next to the workshop name that you want to drop.
4. Enter your UserID and Password, click on the Submit Request.
5. You will be asked to enter in your Password again, then click on Drop Class.
6. If you have problems dropping your workshop, please call TOPS immediately or email us. If you do not show up, you will be marked as a "No Show", for information pertaining to this, please read the No Show Policy.
Waitlist Policy
Workshop vacancies will be filled from our waitlist. In order to get on the waitlist you must call 993-3426 or email TOPS with the workshop you want to be waitlisted. Participants on the waitlist for a workshop may come to the classroom at the start of the workshop. If there are seats available when the workshop begins, the instructor will admit those on the waitlist in the order that they registered for the workshop.
Please Note: Registered participants have first priority on workshop seats, and the instructor cannot admit people on the waitlist until after the workshop has begun.
No Show Policy
Due to the large number of participants waitlisted for all workshops, participants who fail to attend two (2) workshops in a semester for which they are registered without giving 24 hour notice, will be put on a waitlist for all remaining workshops they request during that semester. This will include workshops for which they are already registered for.
Training Manuals
Due to the increased cost of training materials, we are no longer able to offer most of the training manuals at no cost. Manuals will be provided for in-workshop use only, however you may purchase these manuals at the Copy Center, located in the Johnson Center, room 135.
