Higher Education Law in Practice (2027-01)

Individuals registering to attend the class must be employed by a college or university, unless approved in advance by D. Stafford & Associates. Individuals who are not employed by a college or university can send an email request to Dolores Stafford.

Registration fees are assessed on a per-person basis and cover attendance by one individual only. Sharing a registration with colleagues or allowing unregistered individuals to participate in the class is not permitted. Each participant must register separately and pay the applicable registration fee. Certificates of completion will be issued only to registered attendees whose participation has been verified and whose registration invoice has been paid in full.

If the event system indicates that the class is full when you attempt to register for the class, you can request to be added to the “waiting list” for a specific class by sending an email to The DSA Team. If a registered attendee cancels or changes their class location, you will be contacted with an offer to attend in their place.
