Program Information
For each program offered for continuing education credit, ASGW publishes the registration requirements, a description of the content and the learning objectives, the name and qualifications of each presenter, and the number of CE hours offered. This information appears on the registration page for the program.
Program Fees
Fees for each program are stated in the program announcement and on the registration page. Some ASGW programs are offered at no cost to members. If a fee is charged, registration fees are due at the time of registration. Registration is not complete, and a seat is not reserved, until payment is received. Participants whose payment is not received by the registration deadline will be notified that their registration has not been completed.
Participant Cancellation and Refunds
Participants who need to cancel a registration should send a written request to asgwsecretary@gmail.com.
- Cancellation requests received at least [five] business days before the program date receive a full refund.
- Cancellation requests received after that point are not eligible for a refund. A participant may instead send a substitute attendee by notifying ASGW in writing before the program begins.
- Participants who register but do not attend are not eligible for a refund.
- Fees for on-demand and recorded programs are non-refundable once the participant has accessed the program materials.
Refunds are issued to the original method of payment within [30] days of an approved request.
Cancellation by ASGW
ASGW reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a program. If ASGW cancels a program, registered participants are notified at the contact information provided at registration and receive a full refund of any fees paid, or may transfer their registration to a future program. If a program cannot proceed because of a technical failure on ASGW’s side, registered participants receive a full refund or a transfer at their choosing.
ASGW is not responsible for travel, lodging, or other costs a participant incurs in connection with a program.
Program Complaints and Dispute Resolution
ASGW takes participant concerns seriously and reviews every complaint it receives about its continuing education programming.
A participant or prospective participant who wishes to raise a concern about an ASGW continuing education program, about the process for awarding credit, or about any aspect of ASGW’s continuing education operation may submit it in writing to the ASGW Continuing Education Coordinator at asgwsecretary@gmail.com. Concerns may also be raised by mail at PO Box 31110 Alexandria, VA 22310-9998.
Complaints should describe the program, the date, and the nature of the concern, and should include contact information so that ASGW can respond.
ASGW acknowledges receipt of a complaint within [five] business days. The Continuing Education Coordinator reviews the complaint and may contact the participant, the presenter, or others involved for additional information. If the complaint concerns the Continuing Education Coordinator, the ASGW President conducts the review instead. ASGW does not guarantee any particular outcome, but a participant can expect ASGW to consider the complaint, reach a decision, and respond in writing within 30 days of receipt.
Complaints and their resolution are documented and retained for five years.
Confidentiality of Participant Information
ASGW protects the confidentiality of information provided by continuing education participants, including participant identity, registration information, evaluation responses, and any materials participants submit. Participant evaluations are reviewed and reported only in aggregate form. ASGW does not share participant information with third parties except as needed to administer the program or as required by law.
Accommodations
