Registration Policy

Employees and managers are encouraged to identify their objectives for the selected program(s) prior to supervisory approval.
Applications must be made on a State Training and Development Office application form. (You may photocopy) Or, if your department is on the ASPEN system you may apply on line. Complete each question and obtain required signatures.
Applications need to be received in the State Training and Development Office three (3) weeks prior to the applied-for program, unless otherwise noted.
Enrollment is generally on a "first come/first serve" basis.
To ensure that participants have the best possible learning experience, we limit class sizes. Therefore, we may not be able to accept everyone who applies for a program. Applicants who are not admitted to a program are given preference if they apply for the same program at a later date.
If the date is near for a program you are interested in, call the State Training and Development Office (624-7764) to see if there is a vacancy or be placed on a waiting list.
We generally like to have a minimum number of participants for scheduled programs. If you have been enrolled in a program that does not meet that minimum, the program could be subject to cancellation or rescheduling. Enrollees would be notified by the State Training and Development Office if that becomes necessary, by e-mail posting of a notice on the training room door, and posting a notice on the course description on our website. We will also try to contact each participant by phone.
Applicants will be notified of enrollment status two weeks prior to the start of the course. If you have not heard from us by that time, please call us at 624-7764.
Being admitted to a program or course means that we are holding a place for you. If you find that you cannot attend, please let us know as quickly as possible. (See Cancellation Policy)
As a general rule, supervisors and their employees are encouraged to attend separate sessions so they both can get the maximum benefit from the program.
Reasonable accommodations will be made for employees with disabilities. Please notify us as far in advance of the program date as possible to request any special accommodations.
