Payment procedure for courses

Applications for Institute courses must be submitted to the Institute Registrar's office following the Institute's instructions. See 1949.4(a) for the requirement.

• Follow the exact submission method (mail, online form, email) and address the Institute provides in its application instructions.
• If you are unsure about the current instructions, contact the Institute Registrar's office directly for guidance.

You must follow the Institute's application instructions when applying for courses, even if they differ from your employer's internal process. The regulation requires applications be submitted "in accordance with instructions issued by the Institute," as stated in 1949.4(a).

• Coordinate with your employer to ensure they can comply with the Institute's required method and timeline.
• If your employer uses purchase orders or internal authorization, confirm with the Registrar whether those documents can be submitted in addition to or instead of the Institute's required submission.

Private sector personnel who have been notified of their acceptance by the Institute must submit payment by check, as required by 1949.4(b).

• The rule specifically references "private sector personnel" for this payment requirement.
• If you are not in the private sector (for example, a federal employee), follow the Institute's instructions or contact the Registrar for the correct payment procedure.

The check must be made payable to "U.S. Department of Labor." This is specified in 1949.4(b).

• Be sure to write the payee name exactly as stated to avoid processing delays.

Private sector personnel must submit the check prior to the commencement of the course, as required by 1949.4(b).

• "Prior to the commencement" means the Institute must receive payment before the course starts; confirm any specific deadline with the Registrar.

You should submit a check for the amount indicated by the course announcement, per 1949.4(b).

• Check the course announcement carefully for the exact fee.
• If the announcement is unclear or you need confirmation, contact the Institute Registrar's office.

The regulation does not prohibit payment by an employer or third party, but the check must be submitted in accordance with the Institute's instructions and received prior to course commencement, as stated in 1949.4(b).

• Confirm with the Institute Registrar whether they require the attendee's name on the check or other identifying information.
• Follow any additional submission details in the Registrar's instructions from 1949.4(a).

The regulation specifies submission of a check for private sector personnel and does not list alternative payment methods in 1949.4(b).

• If you need to use a credit card, electronic funds transfer, certified check, or money order, consult the Institute Registrar because the Institute's instructions under 1949.4(a) may allow alternatives.

The regulation requires the check be submitted prior to commencement of the course, as stated in 1949.4(b), so you must contact the Institute Registrar immediately to explain the situation and request instructions, per 1949.4(a).

• The regulation does not detail consequences for late payment; the Registrar will provide the Institute's policy on late payments, possible deferral, or cancellation.

You must follow the instructions issued by the Institute Registrar's office for applications and payments, as required in 1949.4(a) and 1949.4(b).

• The Registrar's instructions will be included with the course announcement or sent to you upon acceptance.
• If you cannot find the instructions, contact the Institute Registrar directly.

The regulation does not address refunds; it only requires submission of a check prior to course commencement for accepted private sector personnel, as stated in 1949.4(b).

• For refund policies, check the course announcement or contact the Institute Registrar for the Institute's specific refund terms.

You should submit a check for the amount specifically indicated in the course announcement (including any discount), per 1949.4(b).

• If the announcement grants a scholarship or discount, follow any special payment instructions in that announcement or contact the Registrar for clarification.

The regulation requires submission of applications in accordance with the Institute's instructions under 1949.4(a) and payment upon acceptance for private sector personnel under 1949.4(b).

• You may submit multiple applications if the Institute's instructions allow it; payment is required only after you are notified of acceptance for a specific course.
• Confirm any limits or special procedures with the Registrar.

The regulation does not specify whether the attendee's name must appear on the check; it only states that private sector personnel must submit a check payable to "U.S. Department of Labor," as required by 1949.4(b).

• To avoid processing delays, the Institute Registrar may request the attendee's name and course identifier on the check; confirm any such requirements with the Registrar.

The regulation specifically addresses payment by "private sector personnel" in 1949.4(b) and does not set out payment rules for federal or state employees.

• If you are a government employee, follow the Institute Registrar's application and payment instructions in 1949.4(a) or contact the Registrar to learn the correct procedure for your employment type.

The regulation requires the check to be submitted prior to the start of the course, per 1949.4(b); mailed checks should be sent with enough time to be received by the Institute before the course begins.

• Confirm the Institute's required receipt deadline with the Registrar and use tracked mail if needed.
• If mailing timelines make on-time delivery uncertain, contact the Registrar about alternate arrangements.

If there is a discrepancy between the course announcement amount and information from the Registrar, follow the Institute's official instructions and confirm the correct amount with the Registrar, per 1949.4(a) and 1949.4(b).

• Keep written confirmation (email or printed notice) of the correct fee amount for your records.

Yes; Part 1949 identifies the Office of Training and Education of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration as the relevant office for these courses, as shown in 1949.

• For course-specific administration and payment instructions, follow the Institute Registrar's guidance under 1949.4(a).

The regulation requires a check for private sector personnel under 1949.4(b) and does not mention purchase orders. You must follow the Institute's instructions or get approval from the Registrar for alternative arrangements, as required by 1949.4(a).

• Contact the Registrar to ask whether a purchase order can be accepted or if the employer must provide a check.

The Institute Registrar's office handles application and payment instructions, as required in 1949.4(a).

• Reach out to the Registrar for course-specific payment instructions, acceptable payment forms, deadlines, and any exceptions to the check requirement in 1949.4(b).

The regulation requires submission of a check payable to "U.S. Department of Labor" for the amount indicated in the course announcement, as stated in 1949.4(b).

• Although the regulation does not list additional required details, best practice is to include the attendee's full name, course title or course code, and any invoice number on the check or accompanying documentation to prevent processing delays.
• Confirm any preferred check details with the Registrar under 1949.4(a).

No; 1949.4(b) requires private sector personnel to submit a check upon notification of their acceptance by the Institute, so payment is not required before acceptance.

• Wait for an official acceptance notice and follow the payment instructions in that notice and in the Registrar's application guidance under 1949.4(a).
