Cancellation Policy

Ordinarily, workshop fees are refundable until 3 weeks before the workshop. After that time, you may choose a different workshop session to attend or send a substitute in your place.

Workshops are typically conducted regardless of weather. If you do not feel comfortable driving due to road conditions, or are otherwise unable to attend a workshop at the last minute, please call the conference center that morning and leave a message to let us know you will not be attending. This will help to avoid unnecessary delays in waiting for late arrivals. You may call NEASC later to discuss rescheduling or other options.

To cancel or reschedule a workshop at any time, contact the appropriate Administrative Assistant at NEASC.
