Registration FAQ
Do I have to register?
Yes, everyone has to register if they want to attend any of the workshops we offer.
I would like to take one workshop at the Elementary location and another at the Secondary location. Is that possible and how to I register for them?
Yes, you can do that. You will have to register twice. One registration for the Elementary workshop and one for the Secondary. You will also have to enter your personal information again. It is not possible to register for workshops at more than one location in one registration.
Do I need a second or third workshop choice?
No, by registering ONLINE you know right away if your workshop choices are available or not. There is no need for a second or third workshop choice. The system does not let you register in a workshop which is full.
Is there a waiting list for full workshops?
No, there is no waiting list for full workshops. Such a list would be a nightmare as one change might result in a chain reaction of many changes. It is also very unlikely that spots open up in a full workshop.
Will you offer more spots in popular workshops or repeat them if they are full?
We keep an eye on the workshop registrations all the time to see which ones prove to be very popular and fill up quickly. If possible we try to add more spots by switching them to a bigger room or by adding a second offering of the same workshop. Please keep in mind that this is not always possible due to restrictions provided by the instructor or the availability of suitable rooms. We promise to do our best but it is not always possible.
Are there any fees to pay?
If you are a teacher, TOC or student teacher of School District 36 then you only have to pay kit fees for some workshops. Very few workshops have these fees so for most the attendance is free. Please see the individual workshop description if your workshop choice has a kit fee.
If you from out of the district you will also have to pay a fee to attend our convention. You can find the applicable fee for your on our Fees page.
How can I pay my fees?
You can either pay your fees ONLINE using your VISA or Mastercard in our secure payment process. If you prefer you can also forward the money to the STA office either in cash or cheque but payment has to be received by the office within 7 days of your registration. Any unpaid registrations will be cancelled without further notice after 7 days.
How can I change my registration?
You will receive a confirmation email after you completed your registration. This email contains a link which allows you to access your registration and make changes to it. Please make sure to enter a valid emails address so that you will receive the confirmation email. Please do NOT register more than once as you will occupy valuable workshop spots.
