CREDIT AND CANCELLATION GUIDELINES
FOR WORKSHOPS

CANCELLATIONS

A workshop leader may cancel her workshop if the minimum number of participants she has designated fails to sign up. When a workshop is cancelled, the leader is expected to promptly notify those who have signed up that the workshop will not be taking place.

CREDITS

Credits earned by the Workshop Leader:
The workshop leader receives one credit for each hour spent preparing and giving the workshop. For example, if it takes five hours to prepare for a four-hour workshop, the leader would receive 9 credits.

preparation time: 5  
workshop time: 4  
  ____  
total time 9

  credits

Credits paid by the Participants:
The total credits earned by the workshop leader are divided among the participants and each participant is charged an equal share of the total. Example: if in the above case there were 6 participants, each would be charged 1 1/2 credits for the workshop (9 : 6 = 1 1/2):

credits earned by leader: 9
divided by number of participants: 6
  ____
credits paid per participant: 1.5

Workshop participants may not be charged more than 1.2 credit per hour of workshop time. It is therefore important that the workshop leader determine the minimum number of participants she needs in order to make doing the workshop worthwhile.
