Program Registration and Participation Policies

· Pre-registration is required for all workshops. We must receive your payment and registration form at least 4 days before the workshop date.

· Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Confirmation notices will be sent to all registrants meeting the pre-registration deadline. If you do not receive a confirmation notice within a week, contact 410-313-1940 to confirm that your registration has been received.

· Checks and/or money orders only will be accepted - no cash. There will be a $25 service fee for returned checks.

· Walk-ins will not be accepted. Late registrations may be accepted by phone if space permits. There are no refunds, unless the HCCCRC cancels the workshop. If a workshop is cancelled, participants will be notified by telephone 48 hours or more in advance. If you must miss a workshop, credit for a future workshop will be given if you notify us 24 hours or more in advance. If you do not cancel in advance, you will not receive a credit.

· Inclement weather/snow closure information: All workshop closure decisions will be made three (3) hours prior to the workshop. When the weather is in question, call 410-313-2649 for closure information (note that this is not the main number). On the occasion of closure, the recorded message will indicate so, otherwise all programs and workshops will run at their scheduled times. In the case of a workshop cancelled due to weather, an attempt will be made to reschedule the workshop.

· Those arriving to workshops more than 15 minutes late may be admitted to the workshop at the trainer’s discretion with a time-adjusted certificate. Workshops begin at the stated time; plan to arrive 10 - 15 minutes early to sign in.

· Workshops are designed for adults only; please make proper child care arrangements in advance.

· Need special accommodations? Call 410-313-2649 in advance if you need assistance at the workshop.

· Pre and Post Assessment will be administered for Core of Knowledge programs. All programs are open to the public.
