Registration Policies
Register Early. Space in most classes is limited, and registrations received without payment are accepted on a "standby only" basis. Class space cannot be reserved for you until payment is received. Registration at the door is subject to space available, and enrollment may be closed before the day of the class.
Cancellation and Refund Policy. As of August 19, 2014, the following policy applies: To cancel your registration, please leave a voicemail message at 510-548-2250 ext. 2. If cancellation is made at least 14 days prior to the beginning of the course, a full refund will apply minus a $20 administrative fee. If you cancel 7-13 days in advance, a refund minus a $50 administrative fee will apply. If you cancel fewer than 7 days in advance, a refund will not be made.
Live Webinar Zoom Courses. The same cancellation and refund policy above applies to all live webinar/zoom courses. Course information and zoom links are emailed out two day before course date from TPI's Administrative Coordinator. Some email providers may put these emails in spam folders. It is the participants responsibility to check for the invite the day before the course in their regular inbox and spam folder. If email is not found participants must request a resend 24 hours in advance to ensure receiving the course information and meeting link in time. Administrative staff ensure that every registrant is sent the meeting information. If a registrant does not attend due to not finding the course link they will be given credit to use with in 1 year for a future CE course at TPI.
Receipts. To save postage and administrative expense, your registration will be acknowledged only by email to the address you provide on your registration form.
