Drop & Refund Policy

Drop Deadline: 3 pm CST on Friday, June 30, 2023

By registering for EAST Seminar, you confirm that you intend to participate at the levels for which you registered. In turn, EAST incurs certain non-refundable costs and expenses on your behalf. For this reason, registered participants who drop their Seminar registration(s) after 3 pm CST on Friday, June 30, 2023 - or who do not show up to the event - are still required to pay all applicable registration fee(s).

Extenuating Circumstances Policy

Letter Deadline: 3 pm CST on Friday, June 30, 2023

According to the EAST Statement of Assurances signed by your school administrator and EAST, facilitators are required to actively and fully participate in professional development activities (including but not limited to Phase Training, EAST Conference, and EAST Seminar) on a continuing basis as part of regular duties. If, due to extenuating circumstances, a facilitator is unable to attend EAST Seminar in person, they must (1) notify their their program’s site support representative, (2) submit a letter to EAST from a school administrator detailing those extenuating circumstances, and (3) register to attend EAST Seminar On-Demand. Beginning in 2023, this option will only be available to facilitators once every three years. Failure to comply with this policy may not place your program in immediate jeopardy, however a corrective action plan between EAST and your school could become necessary if combined with additional compliance insufficiencies.

Should extenuating circumstances arise, notify your site support person and upload your administrator’s letter to the EAST Seminar Registration Portal by 3 pm CST on Friday, June 30, 2023.

Facilitators participating in EAST Seminar On-Demand must complete all required professional development by 3 pm CST on Friday, August 4, 2023. A minimum of 12 professional development hours, including General Sessions, must be earned by this time.
