Policies and Procedures

Registration Deadline and Late Fee: Participants are encouraged to register early. Registration must be received by OPA on or before Oct. 29, 2010 to receive workshop confirmation and register for meals. NO EXCEPTIONS. Registrations received after this deadline will be processed on-site, will not include meals and are subject to a $30 penalty.

Early Bird Registration: Postmark, submit electronically or fax your registration on or before Sept. 30 to receive a $10 discount.

OPA Member Rates: Member rates are available to current OPA members and anyone wishing to join OPA by completing a membership application. Special rates are available for members who are paid students, staff or significant others of current members.

Americans with Disabilities Act: The Crowne Plaza North complies with the provisions of ADA. If you need any assistance related to sight, sound or mobility, please contact OPA so that we may assist you.

Disclaimers/Cancellation and Refund Policy: Attendees needing to cancel must do so in writing before Oct. 29 and will be subject to a $30 service charge. ALL CANCELLATIONS WILL BE SUBJECTED TO THIS SERVICE CHARGE. No refunds will be given for cancellations made after Oct. 29. The planners and sponsors of this event 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 at the end of each workshop as instructed. 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 this guideline. No partial credit will be given. The Convention planners will make every effort to ensure that each workshop begins promptly at its designated starting time.

Convention Certificates of Attendance, which will list each workshop completed, will be available to most participants at the conclusion of their last workshop, pending attendance. On-site registrants or participants who change their schedule will receive a certificate in the mail. This procedure allows a streamlined reporting process for participants.

Continuing Education Credits: 1) The Ohio Psychological Association is approved by the American Psychological Association to offer continuing education for psychologists. The Ohio Psychological Association maintains responsibility for the program and its content. 2) The State of Ohio Counselor & Social Worker Board. The approved number is RCS070608. NOTE: The keynote and workshops #6, 11, 22, 24, 26 and 27 are not eligible for counselor and social worker credit.
