Parker Continuing Education

Policies & Procedures

Your seminar registration submission implies you have read and agree to the following policies/procedures.

General Information

• You may register for Continuing Education seminars by telephone, fax, and mail or through the website. Check the brochure or website information to verify the proper tuition.  Most courses offer an early discount rate for registering more than 7 days in advance of the class date. Discounts must be applied at the time of registration.  Some courses may require the purchase of textbooks or supplies above the tuition cost.
• In order to be able to provide notification of any seminar changes, adequate classroom materials and to guarantee seating, pre-registration is strongly advised. Registrations cannot be processed until payment is received. Payment options available are: MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, check or money order.
• Parker College reserves the right to adjust program dates, times, speakers and/or locations. On occasion, it may also be necessary to cancel published programs. Persons pre-registered for the effected programs will be notified. Please ensure that we have all pertinent contact information so that we may reach you in such a circumstance. The total liability of Parker College arising from or related to these instances is limited to a refund of the registration fee only. 
• The opinions and statements made by the speakers do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Parker College.
• Chiropractic college students planning to attend programs through the Continuing Education Department should check the eligibility requirements listed on the website for the individual program or contact the office directly.  Most courses require the student be the equivalent of a Tri V or above in order to participate.
• Out of respect for both the speaker and the class attendees, we request cell phones be placed on vibrate and all calls be returned during scheduled class breaks.
• Please dress in layers to ensure comfort.  Temperature regulation is sometimes difficult in large meeting rooms.
• Audio and video taping are not permitted by attendees at any time.
• Auditing Parker Continuing Education seminars is not permitted.  Registration is not contingent on whether or not an attendee desires CE credit.  All attendees must officially register for seminars.
• All attendees must meet course prerequisites as needed.

Certificate Programs

• Unless the program is governed by a speciality board with its own "Time Limit" clause, Parker's certificate programs will have a time limit to complete of three (3) years.  Consideration will be given for changes in the program or if the program was not offered for a period of time.  However, it should not extend more than five (5) years.

Cancellation Policy

• Single presentation program:  Refunds, less a 25% administrative fee, will be issued upon request if received more than 7 days prior to the event. There will be no refunds permitted after that time.  Registrations are non-transferable to another course, but may be transferred to another person for the exact same event.
• Multiple module programs:  If you choose to cancel the program, after prepaying multiple modules to receive the discounted pricing, Parker College will calculate the refund, less a 25% administrative fee, after deducting tuition at the early registration rates (not the discounted rates) for the modules attended.  The refund request must be received more than 7 days prior to the next module.  The multiple module discount registrations are not transferable to another individual.

CE & Attendance Verification

• Before attending a Parker College sponsored event for continuing education credit, always check the website or call the Continuing Education Department to verify your state board's approval.  If your state is listed as "auto-approved" on the website, check with your board to be sure the course content falls within your board's scope of practice requirements/definitions.
• Course attendance hours are calculated by the use of sign in/out sheets or scanning devices. Failure to comply with the required attendance procedures or failure to remain in the classroom or teaching facility may result in a loss of credit hours reported. The Continuing Education Department is required by the various state reporting agencies to verify attendance at each seminar. Verification will be issued for the documented hours only.
• After verification of the attendance logs, CE attendance vouchers will be mailed to the doctor or to the appropriate State Board depending on each board's regulations. Registrants are responsible for maintaining a copy for their records.
• Parker College will not complete attendance vouchers for continuing education credits until the course is paid in full.  A $25.00 US fee will be assessed for each additional copy of attendance vouchers reproduced after the initial mailing at the course conclusion.

Transcript Requests

The Continuing Education Department will process requests for official transcripts of your postgraduate studies through Parker College by the following steps:

1. The request must be submitted in writing and include:

• Your name, address, social security number and telephone number;
• The name, address, telephone number and a contact person's name of the organization to which the transcript is to be submitted.  (Official transcripts cannot be sent to the requesting doctor to be forwarded.  However, a photocopy will be mailed for the doctor's records.)

2. Payment in the amount of $10.00 US must be included with the request.

Please allow ample time for completion and mailing.
