Completing the registration form submits your application, but your seat is only confirmed once tuition is paid in full or there is a payment plan in place with a credit card on file.

 

WHAT PAYMENT METHODS ARE ACCEPTED?
We accept credit cards, ACH bank transfers, checks, and direct invoicing (ideal if your organization is sponsoring your attendance). Payment details and processing instructions are provided upon form submission.

Sessions take place live via Zoom on Wednesdays from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM CST. While live participation is strongly encouraged to get the most out of peer discussions, session materials and recordings are provided if you need to miss a class. (Note: No session on October 14).
