Program and Privacy Policies

Standard SAPM Policies, Effective January 1, 2005 Pricing
Stanford Advanced Project Management has a multi-tier pricing
structure, with three price categories for on campus sessions (regular,
early registration discount, and multi-course), and two price
categories for online (regular and multi-course). Please visit our
pricing page for current tuition.
On-Campus Courses * Regular pricing is available to anyone at any time.
* Early registration discount pricing is approximately 10% off of
regular pricing, and is available to participants who register by the
posted early registration deadlines. * Multi-course pricing is
approximately 12% off of regular pricing, and is available for
participants who register for more than one course in one registration
transaction. Multi-course pricing cannot be used for subsequent courses
registered in different registration transactions by the same
participant, nor for multiple participants from the same company.
Further, if a participant registers for a course at the regular price,
and then comes in a week later to add another course in a separate
transaction, the multi-course pricing will not be honored. On-campus
and online courses may be mixed to get the multi-course pricing, if
registration occurs in the same transaction. * Early registration
discount and multi-course pricing may not be combined. * Corporate
multi-person pricing – Company OD representatives should contact an
IPSolutions Business Development Manager to arrange for corporate
pricing.
Online Courses * Regular pricing is available to anyone at any time. *
Multi-course pricing is approximately 18% off of regular pricing, and
is available for participants who register for more than one class in
one registration transaction. Multi-course pricing cannot be used for
subsequent courses registered in different registration transactions by
the same participant, nor for multiple participants from the same
company. Further, if a participant registers for a course at the
regular price, and then comes in a week later to add another course in
a separate transaction, the multi-course pricing will not be honored.
Online and on-campus courses may be mixed to get the multi-course
pricing, if they are registered for in the same transaction. *
Corporate multi-person pricing – Company OD representatives should
contact an IPSolutions Business Development Manager to arrange for
corporate pricing.
On-Site Courses * For pricing information about courses delivered at
your location, company organizational development representatives

CEUs and PDUs
Completion of each SAPM course automatically includes eligibility for
20 PDU credits with PMI at no additional charge. The appropriate PDU
numbers are listed in small print on each course completion
certificate.
Participants may request Stanford University CEU credit for SAPM
courses at $75 per course. Two CEUs are issued per course. CEUs are
usually requested by the participant at the time of course
registration, and are earned at the completion of each course. The SAPM
program office will process CEU requests at the end of each Stanford
academic quarter, approximately December 31, March 31, June 30, and
September 30.
Extensions of Online Registration
Participants are given 90 days to complete each online course. An
additional 90 day period is issued for each additional course for which
a participant registers. For example, a participant registering for one
course receives 90 days of access; a participant registering for three
online courses in one registration receives 270 days access. A
participant may request one 90-day extension in order to complete each
course.
Access to Online Courses for On-Campus Participants
Approximately one month after completion of each on-campus course,
on-campus participants will be given 30 days of access to the
then-current online version of the respective course, if there is an
online version of the course available. The access given to the
participant will not necessarily be for the same version of the course
they had completed one month prior, as courses are constantly being
updated and it takes time to get newly recorded courses available for
Web access.
On-Campus Participant Guidelines Attendance
Participants must attend the entire course to receive a completion
certificate. An absence of up to 30 minutes total may be excused by the
Program Manager. For any absence greater than 30 minutes, the
participant will be asked to complete the online version of the course
and answer some questions about the online session(s) before the
completion certificate will be awarded.
Registration List
The session registration list will be distributed at the beginning of
each course. This list will include name, company name, preferred
address, preferred phone number, and preferred e-mail address of all
attendees. Anyone who wishes their information not be shared must
inform the program office five business days prior to the start of the
session. 
Polo Shirt
An SAPM polo shirt may be purchased by new or current
participants through the IPSolutions office.
Video Release
For any courses being taped for future online presentation,
participants will be asked to sign a video release form. Any
participant not wishing to sign the video release will be asked to sit
in the rear corner of the room to ensure that s/he will not be captured
on tape.
Graduation
Prior to a participant’s final course, s/he will be sent, via e-mail, a
program graduation kit. The kit must be completed and returned to the
program office 15 calendar days prior to the beginning of the on-campus
session so that graduation plaques can be made in time for distribution
at the appropriate in-session banquet dinner. Upon graduation, the
participant may use the designation of SCPM (Stanford Certified Project
Manager) behind his/her name on correspondence and business cards.
Online Participant Guidelines
Final Exams
Online participants are asked to complete a final exam at the
completion of each course, to maintain the integrity of the Program.
Upon passing the respective exam, a completion certificate will be
mailed to the participant.
Graduation
After a participant completes his/her final course, including passing
the exam, s/he will be sent, via e-mail, a program graduation kit. Upon
completion and return of the kit to the program office, a graduation
plaque will be produced within 30 days. The participant may choose to
receive the plaque in the mail, or to attend an upcoming on-campus
banquet dinner at SCPD’s expense. The participant may bring a guest to
the dinner for $75. Upon graduation, the participant may use the
designation of SCPM (Stanford Certified Project Manager) behind his/her
name on correspondence and business cards.
