OPA Continuing Education Policies and Procedures
Registration Deadline
Participants are encouraged to register early. Pre-registration will close on the dates listed or when the room is filled to capacity. NO EXCEPTIONS. Registrations must be postmarked by the deadline to avoid a penalty.
On-Site Registration
On-site registration may be available if space allows. ALL registrations received after the listed deadlines (a.) will be processed on-site, (b.) will NOT include meals and (c.) are subject to a $30 penalty.
OPA Member Rates
Member rates are available to current OPA members and anyone wishing to join OPA by completing a membership application.
Hotel Information
Guest rooms are on hold under an OPA room block at or near all workshop venues for the night prior to the workshop. Please contact the hotels directly to make arrangements. Hotel information is located on each workshop page. The workshop venues have made every effort to comply with the provisions of ADA. If you need any assistance related to sight, sound or mobility, please contact Heather Gilbert so that we may assist you.
Disclaimers/Cancellation and Refund Policy
Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing and will be subject to a $30 service charge. There will be no refund for cancellations made less than 5 days in advance of the workshop. The planners and sponsors of these events are committed to providing accurate and up-to-date information. However, they are not responsible for changes, additions or deletions to the services, but will work toward accommodating the needs of the attendees.
Continuing Education Credit Policies
Those individuals wanting CE credits must sign and complete the Workshop Evaluation Form and return the form to OPA staff at the end of the course. APA guidelines state that a participant may arrive no more than 10 minutes late or leave more than 10 minutes early to receive credit for a program. As an APA-Approved Sponsor, OPA adheres to these guidelines. No partial credit will be given. The event planners will make every effort to ensure that each workshop begins promptly at its designated starting time.
Certificates of Attendance, which will list the title of the completed workshop, will be available to most participants at the conclusion of the workshop, pending attendance. On-site registrants will receive a certificate in the mail. This procedure will allow a streamlined reporting process for participants.
The Ohio Psychological Association is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The Ohio Psychological Association maintains responsibility for the programs and their content. CE credits also are available from the State of Ohio Counselor/Social Worker Board (the approved provider number is RCS070608).
