MU Fire and Rescue Training Institute store policies

Items sold via the MU Fire and Rescue Training Institute (FRTI) are managed uniquely. For policies related to our firefighting merchandise, including training materials and apparel, please see the MU FRTI store policies page.

Law Enforcement Training Institute class refund policies

Continuing Education Seminars: A 20-percent nonrefundable fee will be assessed on any cancellation made within 5 days prior to the start of the program or if attendees are no-show on the day of the class.

Thank you for visiting and shopping at the University of Missouri Extension website. MU Extension no longer maintains a warehouse of publications or logo items to facilitate exchanges or returns. Every publication and product ordered from the MU Extension store is printed on-demand at the time of order. This precludes MU Extension from accepting returns. If you have any questions, please email [email protected] or call 573-882-7216 during business hours.
