CANCELLATIONS/REFUNDS: If APA cancels a workshop, participants will receive a full refund. All other cancellations are subject to a $40 service charge PER WORKSHOP and will be made only if the APA CPE Office receives the request IN WRITING by July 31, 2002. No refunds will be given after that date.

CE CREDIT: All workshops have been reviewed and approved by the APA Office of Continuing Professional Education and the APA Continuing Professional Education Committee. The APA CPE Committee maintains responsibility for the content of the program. Attendance at the workshop in its entirety is required to receive CE credit. No partial credit is awarded; late arrival or early departure will preclude awarding of CE Credits.

ATTENTION CALIFORNIA LICENSED PSYCHOLOGISTS: The workshops listed are approved for MCEP.

ACCOMMODATIONS: The APA CPE Office does not arrange hotel accommodations. Please refer to the APA convention website for hotel information as well as convention registration information. Although convention registration is not required to enroll in a CPE workshop, we encourage you to register for the convention to take advantage of special hotel rates, and so that you may attend all convention sessions and visit the APA Exhibit Hall.
