Please ensure that your device (laptop, phone, computer, etc.) and account name (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, etc.) are appropriate, legible, and identify the attendee so that verifying attendance is expedited. This policy applies to live and interactive webinar courses, or the webinar option of hybrid courses.
A hybrid course means that you may choose to either attend on campus to experience the lecture from the speaker in person (referred to as the "in-person" option) or to attend virtually via a live and interactive webinar with the speaker (referred to as the "webinar" option). The in-person option means that you are invited to visit our campus and attend the lecture in a classroom or auditorium. The webinar option means that you choose to log in to a virtual call (hosted via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, etc.) and to attend for the duration of the lecture via your computer, laptop, or other capable device. You will select your option while registering online by proceeding through the registration process, and while selecting your fee option, select either the "in-person" or "webinar" option. The TSBDE views live webinars and in-person courses equally, you will receive the same "live credit" by participating in either format option of a hybrid course. “No shows” will not qualify for refunds.
