Invoicing

Please note that invoices are not automatically generated. Facilitators will receive an invoice within two (2) business days of completing EAST Seminar registration, sent to their provided summer email address.

The registration deadline is 3 pm CST on Friday, June 28, 2024. Programs registered after that date will incur a $25 late fee. Please register early to avoid this fee.

Credit card, check or cash accepted. Purchase orders will NOT be accepted. We appreciate prompt payment, but if an extension is necessary due to extenuating circumstances, please contact receivables@EASTstaff.org.

(NOTE: Professional development credit will not be released to attendees until their program’s invoice, including any late fee, has been paid in full. In addition, programs will not be allowed to register for EAST Conference 2025 until their Seminar invoice has been satisfied.)

Drop & Refund Policy

Drop Deadline: 3 pm CST on Friday, June 28, 2024

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 28, 2024 - or who do not show up to the event - are still required to pay all applicable registration fee(s).

Participants who drop their registration before 3 pm on June 28 may do so free of charge.

Extenuating Circumstances Policy

Letter Deadline: 3 pm CST on Friday, June 28, 2024

According to the EAST Statement of Assurances acknowledged by your school administrator and EAST, each facilitator is 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 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 will place your program in immediate jeopardy for Program of Influence Status.

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 28, 2024.

Facilitators participating in EAST Seminar On-Demand must view recorded sessions in the Digital Content Library after EAST Seminar and complete all required professional development by 11:59 pm CST on Friday, August 2, 2024. A minimum of 12 professional development hours, including General Sessions, must be earned by this time.
