Virtual events will be held in a secure, online platform.

What is your cancellation or substitution policy?

Substitutions are welcome any time prior to the start of the event. You must email workshops@heinemann.com with your name and the name and unique email address of the substitute. For all cancellations, please email us a minimum of 24 hours prior to the event at workshops@heinemann.com.

Can I get credit for attending a Heinemann Workshop or Multi-Day Event? 

Heinemann offers general CEU/Clock hour credit. In addition, most in-person courses have a graduate credit option for an additional fee and typically require some additional work. The credit information can be found on the event description page.

For details on our university partner and how to register for and earn credit, please visit UMass Global.

We strongly recommend checking with your school district to ensure that the credit from your chosen university will be accepted before you enroll. Students intending to transfer credit to another university are also advised to obtain approval from their advisor or the registrar before enrolling. Not all graduate credit options are able to be transferred to degree programs.

Heinemann's virtual professional learning options are not currently eligible for state-specific PD requirements and may not meet your state's requirements for certification. We recommend you check with your state/district before purchasing if you are unsure if general PD hours will be accepted. Please see the workshop description for specifics.

Enrolling for graduate credit ALWAYS requires a registration directly through the university. Fees for graduate credit must be paid separately to the university and must not be included with your registration fee to Heinemann Workshops.

What happens after I sign up?

A confirmation will be sent to each individual registrant – we require a unique email address for each attendee registering – once the registration has been processed. If you do not receive your confirmation within 48 hours, please contact at workshops@heinemann.com. For in-person events, the confirmation letter will also include location information.

What if I need special accommodations?

We are happy to help you with whatever you need. For special accommodation requests, please email us at workshops@heinemann.com.

Heinemann will record all virtual events. This recording is housed in the secure platform used to host the event and will only be shared with you and your fellow attendees for an author determined period of time. Your recorded image and audio will not be used in any other way.

What if I cannot attend and I want someone to attend in my place?

Substitutions are welcome any time prior to the start of the event. You must email pdevents@heinemann.com with your name and the name and unique email address of the substitute.

What if I need to cancel my registration?

For all cancellations, please email us a minimum of 24 hours prior to the event at pdevents@heinemann.com. If you do not send the cancellation in writing at least 24 hours in advance or send a substitute no refund will be given.

Will I receive credit for taking part in a virtual event?

Yes, you will earn general PD credits of 1 Clock Hour / .1 CEUs per hour of content presented. Breaks and lunch times do not count toward PD credit hours.

Do the credits count towards my state specific requirements?

Heinemann's virtual professional learning options are not currently eligible for state-specific PD requirements and may not meet your state's requirements for certification. We recommend you check with your state/district before registering if you are unsure if general PD hours will be accepted.

Can I get graduate credit?

Enrolling for graduate credit always requires university registration and separate payment to said university. Please note, Fountas and Pinnell events are not eligible for graduate credit.
