  • Purchase Order (PO) - A valid PO is required. The following criteria should be noted on the PO. Requisitions are not allowed.
    • Event Name
    • Event Dates (if blanket PO, specify fiscal year)
    • Participant names (if blanket PO, total number of participants)
    • Event cost
    • Signature of Approval
  • Registration must match PO detail. If anything is missing Accounting will reject the registration and the participant will need to re-register for the event.
  • Invoices will be provided upon approved PO submission.

  • Transfer - A transfer of funds between two state government agencies. A transfer of funds form is required at time of registration from both the paying and receiving agency.

  • Cancellation Policy - A full refund may be provided to those that cancel on or before the event start date. Requests submitted after the event start date will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

  • Refund Requests - Refunds are allowed up to the day of the event. The event coordinator must verify that the participant did not attend the course or event to be considered for a full refund. Allow 15 business days for processing.

  • Substitutions - The substituted participant must still register for the event and provide an approved PO. The PO must indicate the new substituted participants name or may not exceed the blanket PO number of participants. If payment was received for the original participant, then this will be refunded and a new payment for the substituted participant will be due. Payments from the original participant may not be transferred to the substituted participant.

  • Make sure that you are using VISA/Master Card for your payments. If you are using a VISA/Master Card and your payment is still being declined, call your bank for support. Alternatively, you can submit payments via a Purchase Order, Internal Transfer, or ACH.
