Education Opportunity Guidelines

Purpose: The purpose of this document is to inform members of the policies surrounding for-pay educational opportunities and special groups sponsored by CyberPointers.

Policies

Yahoo Groups: Separate Yahoo groups will be set up for all other educational opportunities except chapter meeting programs. Those programs will be uploaded and discussed in the CyberPointers-Education Yahoo group, which is open to all members of CyberPointers.

Membership in ad hoc educational opportunity groups will be restricted in the following ways:

1. No Grouply allowed.
2. For pay groups, you may not join the group until you have paid. You will be invited by the moderator.
3. You MUST give your full name and the email address with which you joined CyberPointers in order to join the ad hoc group.
4. Ad hoc groups for free educational opportunities (such as SAL's and special interest groups) will be open to all members of CyberPointers. You may join at any time you are a member as long as you comply with items 1 and 3.

Payment:

1. Payment must be received at the time you sign up for an educational opportunity. You are NOT enrolled until payment is received.
2. If you pay after the posted deadline (with the exception of CPB instructions ordered through the end of the meeting dates), your payment will not be accepted.
3. Payment may be via Paypal, check drawn on a US bank, cashier's check drawn on a US bank, or money order.
4. It is YOUR responsibility to sign up for the correct program, workshop, or event. If you fill out the form and pay for the wrong thing, CyberPointers has no duty to return your money or take you out of said opportunity. LOOK CAREFULLY and make sure you sign up for what you want to sign up for.
5. In the case a workshop or opportunity is cancelled, you have the option of a full refund or credit toward a later program.
6. NO REFUNDS for classes that actually take place.

Shipping:

1. Kits, charts, and other materials (with the exception of CPB instructions ordered through the end of the meeting dates) will be shipped at least 10 days US/ 2 weeks non-US prior to the start of the program, workshop, or other opportunity.
2. If you do not receive your item by the time the program, workshop, or opportunity begins, it is YOUR responsibility to contact the Education VP to arrange for replacement.
3. US shipments will be made via USPS First Class mail or Priority mail as the need warrants.
4. Shipments for international members will be made via USPS International First Class mail or USPS Global Priority Mail as the need warrants.

Sign Up Dates: Sign ups for paid educational opportunities (with the exception of CPB instructions ordered through the end of the meeting dates) will be open for at least one month and will end no less than one month prior to the first day of the program. No late payments or sign ups will be accepted

Copyrights: Remember that all materials sent by CyberPointers are copyrighted. That means you do NOT have permission to copy and distribute them. Members caught doing so will be removed from the chapter.

Policy Changes: These policies shall be reviewed by the Board and the Education VP on a regular basis and may be changed without notice. Policy changes will result in this document being amended and reissued.
