Registration Policies

Pre-Registration & Payment
All registrations must be paid in advance. Payment by Visa, MasterCard, check, cash, money order and signed EIP awards are accepted. Use credit cards by mail or by fax at 518 426-9649. Registrations received without payment will be returned. Pre-registration is recommended 3 days in advance of the workshop date to reserve your seat. Registration at the door will be accepted only if seating is available and all fees must be paid at that time.

Membership Rates
Payment at the member rate is only available when your current membership number is noted or when membership payment is made along with the registration fee. If registering at the door, a current membership card must be shown to receive the reduced member rate. Membership fees paid after December 15 will be valid for the following year.

Refunds & Cancellations
Refunds will only be given if the Council is notified 2 weeks (or more) prior to the workshop date. Please send a substitute in your place if you cannot attend. The Council reserves the right to cancel any workshop if fewer than 10 people register. If workshops are cancelled due to low registration, participants will be notified by telephone and credits will be issued. Workshops may also be cancelled due to inclement weather. For workshop cancellations, call 426-7181, log on to www.cdcccc.org, listen to Radio 810 WGY, or watch WNYT 13, WTEN 10, CBS 6, Capital News 9, or WXXA Fox 23. Credits will be issued.

Continuing Education Units (CEU)
You will receive Continuing Education Units for the indicated classes. For each hour of class, 0.1 units are awarded. These credits can be used to renew your Child Development Associate (CDA).


Scholarships (EIP)
If you have applied for and received an EIP voucher, please sign it and mail it to the Council along with your registration. If you have applied for, but have not received the voucher, remit payment by check, money order, Visa or MasterCard. When the Council receives your signed EIP voucher, you will be reimbursed in the original form of payment in 2 to 4 weeks.

Confirmations
Confirmation letters are sent by mail when registering from the Compass Catalog. Email confirmations are sent when registering using the on-line form.

Children
We are unable to accommodate children during workshops and conferences. Please make other arrangements. If you bring a child to a workshop, you may be asked to leave and we regret that a refund cannot be issued.
