IPA’S NEW CANCELLATION POLICY: It is the policy of the Idaho Psychological Association to recognize that unanticipated events occur which may prevent an individual who has registered for an IPA-sponsored event from attending. As is customary, IPA is required to "guarantee" attendance numbers to the meeting facility several days before the event and, from that point on, is obligated for costs related to that number regardless of cancellations afterwards. To balance the needs of registrants with the needs of the association, the following policy shall apply to cancellation requests.
Cancellations must be in writing. Those received by the early cancellation deadline will receive a full refund. Cancellations after the deadline will receive a credit toward another IPA event less a cancellation fee. Cancellation fees are event-specific due to variations in events and their related costs. The credit certificate will be issued in the registrant’s name and emailed. It may be used toward the registration fee for one future IPA event and is valid for 12 months. No refunds or credits will be issued to registrants who, with no prior notice, fail to attend an event.
For this event, cancellations received by Feb 7, 2020 will receive a full refund. Cancellations after Feb 7, 2020 will receive credit toward another IPA event less a $50 cancellation fee.
