Cancellation & Change Policy

All cancellation and change requests must be submitted by email to:  [email protected]

Cancellation Policy:  If an individual cancels their registration more than 10 days prior to their originally scheduled Workshop, a full refund will be issued. Workshops cancelled within 10 days of the scheduled workshop will not be refunded. There will be no refunds for individuals who do not attend and do not cancel by contacting [email protected] prior to the start of the Workshop.

Change Policy: If you need to switch your workshop on or after September 1, you will be charged an additional $20. 

These policies are in place due to the fact that the Counselor Workshops Committee and the host institutions incur costs based on the preliminary registration lists, which are generated 10 days before each Workshop.  These fees will ensure fair compensation to hosts, regardless of last minute changes in registration.
