PAYMENT AND REGISTRATION GUIDELINES
Payment Options
There are two payment options for HRDC programs:
- Personal check
- Or
- Direct bill to your department
The direct bill option will require you to obtain the following information:
- Budget number
- Budget location
- Budget fund
- Encumbrance (optional)
For direct billing payment option:
- After selecting your desired programs you will need to choose a payment option. In choosing the appropriate payment option, you are agreeing to adhere to HRDC Registration Policies.
- Please note when choosing the direct bill payment option, in addition to the confirming email you will receive, a copy of your registration will be sent to your department's finance office. This will aid your finance office in paying your registration fee. Please be sure you are authorized and understand your department's policy regarding using the direct bill payment option. If your unit refuses to pay for this transaction, your registration will be cancelled.
HRDC Registration Policies
Approval: Prior to your registration, it is your responsibility to obtain any approvals required within your work unit. If you have any questions, please contact your Human Resources Representative.
Confirmation: Program registrations received by HRDC at least two weeks before each class will be confirmed by email. If you do not receive confirmation for a program, please call 814/865-8216 to verify your registration before attending the class.
Cancellation: To help us meet program demand, please register only for programs you are sure you will attend. If you later determine that you cannot attend, please call 814/865-8216 immediately, so we can accommodate others on the waiting list.

In cases where the request is made less than two weeks before the program, please contact HRDC to discuss options.
Transfers are only applicable within the same fiscal year. Due to work areas' financial approval policies, we are unable to honor transfers between fiscal years. Please check the date before requesting the transfer.
