Registration Confirmation, Cancellations, Transfers & Refunds
OLC will confirm your registration and promptly notify you regarding any changes. OLC strives to deliver all offerings as scheduled. However, we reserve the right to reschedule or cancel a program due to unforeseen extenuating circumstances. If an unforeseen event forces OLC to cancel or postpone the program, OLC will give as much advanced notice as possible. In the event of an OLC cancellation, you will receive a full refund of your registration fee. However, OLC cannot be held responsible for any related costs, including cancellation fees assessed by airlines or travel agencies.
Should you need to withdraw from this program for any reason, a written request can be sent by email to customersupport@onlinelearning-c.org or by fax to 888.898.6209. If your request to withdraw is received by June 4, 2027, any paid fees will be refunded, less a $50 administrative fee.
Once registration confirmation is communicated and up to the end of the pre-immersion session, you may request one time to transfer to the next cohort with no administration fee. Should you need to transfer to the next cohort after the pre-immersion session ends, transfer requests will be charged an administrative fee of $350 per participant. This request cannot be made more than once. Should you transfer to the next cohort, please note that if there is an increase in fees for the program, you will be responsible for paying the updated cost for the new year.
Note: Transferring to a later cohort entails re-submitting all work and participating in all elements of the program. Once registered in the later cohort, no refunds will be given.
Accessibility
The OLC is committed to ensuring that both our application process and program experience is accessible. If you require accommodations as part of the application process itself, please reach out to customersupport@onlinelearning-c.org. Once you have been accepted and are considered fully registered for the program, the IELOL team will follow up with separate correspondence to prepare you for the program. As part of this process, you will be given the space to indicate any accommodation needs. We will work with you individually to make sure that your specific accommodation needs are addressed. If you have questions or would like to discuss your accessibility needs or concerns, please contact us at customersupport@onlinelearning-c.org at least two weeks in advance of the IELOL program start.
Scholarships
A limited amount of funding for IELOL tuition scholarships is available. The intent of the scholarship is to enable participation in the program for an individual who may not otherwise have the resources to fund their participation. To apply for the scholarship, please provide a summary statement of your eligibility and how much financial assistance you are requesting as part of the funding section of your IELOL Application (no more than 250 words).

PLEASE NOTE: Scholarship amounts are provided in the form of a reduction in the IELOL tuition. The scholarship amount will vary based on expressed needs of interested applicants and available scholarship resources. If you have requested a scholarship, please note that admission will not be part of the regular rolling review process. Applications that include a scholarship request will be reviewed and notifications will be sent to applicants on or before May 3, 2027.

Approval to Attend IELOL
Looking for a way to get approval or funding to attend the IELOL program? We have put together a sample letter to share with your supervisor or manager:
Program Add-On: Leadership Network Symposium
Applicants have the option to pay* for the Leadership Network Symposium taking place at the OLC Accelerate Conference (in-person event) while registering for the IELOL program. While this event is not part of the core IELOL program, it provides a great opportunity to network and continue learning with other current and aspiring leaders in online and digital learning.
The cost for this additional event is $495 ($100 off the regular price for IELOL participants). You will receive a code to register for the event at a later date.
*Note that applicants may sign up and pay for the Leadership Network Symposium now, or register for this additional program at a later date. The cost for the event will remain the same.
