Intensive Training Sessions

The intensive training sessions may only be attended by individuals who are full registrants of the Institute. Class size is limited for each intensive session, so pre-registration is required. If your intensive session choice is filled, you will be notified and offered an alternative session or refund.

Family Institute Registration

A special low registration fee is available to immediate family members of Institute registrants. Only immediate family members not employed in the corrections field qualify for this special rate. The fee is only $75 and allows the family member to attend workshops and the resource expo. The fee does not include admission to any intensive session. The luncheon is not included; however, tickets may be purchased separately for this event.

Luncheon Ticket

A ticket for the luncheon is included in the early or regular registration fee. Registration fees for family members and students do not include a luncheon ticket. Luncheon tickets may be purchased for $55. Extra tickets for guests may also be purchased separately.

Institute Dress

All activities of the Institute are casual dress. A sweater or light jacket is recommended for the air conditioned meeting rooms that tend to vary in temperature.

Payment

Payment in full for all Institute activities must accompany your registration form. Check, money order, VISA, Master Card or American Express are accepted as payment for the Institute’s registration fees. Checks must be made out to the American Probation and Parole Association and payable in U.S. dollars. Payments received in Canadian dollars will be invoiced for the conversion difference plus a $10 service fee.

Agencies required to use a purchase order should submit the registration form with the purchase order in lieu of a check.
