Payment

• Once you are accepted into c3Design, the CTE will contact you with information about paying the registration fee.

• You will have approximately 2-3 weeks to submit payment through CTE's payment portal. Be sure to select c3Design from the dropdown list. The fee for c3Design is $500.

• This fee is waived for graduate students; graduate student participation is contingent upon space and funding availability. 

c3Design qualifies for UVA's Education Benefit through HR. Funding requests are submitted directly by the employee to UVA HR through Workday.

• Full-time academic and Medical Center employees who have been employed at UVA for at least 12 months have $2,000 per calendar year available for professional development.

• Faculty who are not eligible for education benefit funding may qualify for a needs-based scholarship through the CTE, but we require written proof that the funding request was denied by HR.

  • The CTE requires that you apply for HR's Education Benefit even if you think you will not qualify.

• UVA HR requires documentation of program completion for education benefit funds used for professional development. HR will require individuals who do not provide documentation of program completion to repay their education benefit funds.

• The CTE provides proof of program completion to participants who miss no more than two meetings and complete all work associated with the program.

• For additional details about the Education Benefit program, please see UVA HR's website.

• Requests for refunds must be made in writing to the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE).

• Credit card refunds are required to be made to the credit card account where the charge originated (not a pay voucher).

• A full refund will be given if the CTE receives your written cancellation at least two weeks prior to the start of the program.

• A 50% refund will be given if the CTE receives your written cancellation with less than two weeks remaining until the start of the program. After the program has begun, no refunds will be given.
