Zoom Workshop Policy: Students are required to join the course with camera on and mic available throughout course hours. This is not a recorded webinar, it is a live, interactive workshop which requires your contribution. Therefore, please plan to join from a distraction-free setting—attempting to attend while driving, working, caregiving, attending appointments, or similar activities, may result in an Incomplete or No Credit grade in the course. Because of the condensed nature of the course, students are required to attend all four days in full. Breaks and movement activities a will be provided throughout the course to help students maintain focus and engagement. Please remember that CPE students have full access to our DSS office—if you believe that you will need accommodations during the course, please email dss@spu.edu to get those set up in place prior to the first day.
