REGISTRATION PROCEDURES & POLICY

Registration is required for all DAAIS activities, and it is accepted on a “first come, first-served basis.”  Registration may be completed by mail, by fax or on-line.

REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION:

Registration confirmation will be sent to participants approximately ten days prior to the activity.  If a session is closed due to maximum enrollment, registrants will be placed on a waiting list in the order that the registrations were received.  Registrants will be notified of the waiting list status.  Those on the waiting list will be notified by phone if openings become available.

ACTIVITY CANCELLATION:

DAAIS reserves the right to cancel activities because of low registration.  Registrants will be notified of cancellations.

PARTICIPANT CANCELLATIONS or NO-SHOWS:

Late Cancellations and No-shows create major problems.  They may keep someone else from having the opportunity to participate in the activity, and they almost always result in a significant expense to DAAIS.  Late cancellations and no-shows will be reported to superintendents.  In the case of administrator sessions for which SEMI credit is available, it is necessary to supply the MDE with a list of registrants prior to the session.  In addition, shortly after the session begins, the actual sign-in mastery roster must be faxed to the MDE.  No-shows will receive a reprimand from the MDE.

LOCATION and TIME:

Professional development sessions are held at Delta State University and many other sites across the Delta.  Please check the location and time of each session in the Calendar of Professional Development.  Maps to commonly used sites are available from that web page, also.

CONTINUING EDUCATION UNIT CREDIT:

Continuing Education Unit credit is available for most professional development sessions through the Office of Continuing Education at Delta State University. CEU credit is useful for renewal of teachers’ licenses. The application for CEU credit is made at the conclusion of the activity, and payment must be made at that time.  (Late CEU applications will not be accepted.)  The cost of CEU credit is $15.00 for each activity.  Checks should be made payable to Delta State University.
