  • What are the requirements for a valid PO?
    • 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.

  • What are the requirements for a valid Internal Transfer?
    • 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.

  • How do I launch an online course?

  • How to obtain a certificate of completion for a learner?

  • What is the cancellation policy?
    • 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.

  • What is the refund policy?
    • 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.

  • What is the substitution policy?
    • 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.

  • 12/12/2023
    • Add invoice availability to Learner profile from admin view. This was done as a left hand menu item as adding it to the ledger itself was very complicated and causing multiple duplicates.
    • Changes were made to the available fields when selecting “Pay via website”
    • Adjustments to columns on "Refunds Due to Learners Report".  This report is now named "Refund Report"
    • Credit card transactions are now providing an invoice
    • Bug Fixes:
      • The "add to waitlist" button was still visible for courses that are at max capacity. This is now longer visible and users cannot select "add to waitlist" when the course is full.
      • APLD waiting list export failure has been resolved. The waitlist now exports when filtered on a specific course.
  • 02/10/2023
    • The Registration error has been resolved as of 7:45 AM MST today.
  • 02/09/2023
    • There was a system error in the new ADE Professional Learning and Development (APLD) system that erroneously applied an action to your registration.
      • Any registrations that were for free events or paid for with a CC were not impacted. You can confirm by looking at your APLD dashboard.
      • For users that paid with a purchase order and were waiting for purchase order approval by Accounting, these registrations will be reverted to the pending state so that they can be processed normally.
        • Please be aware that when we revert these POs to the pending state, another email from APLD will be sent, which you can also disregard. A final email will be sent when the processing of the PO is complete.
