For Those Who Don’t Have Access to the Internet or a Computer

Although it’s not recommended, you may be able to participate by joining on the teleconference aspect and following along with a printed copy of the presentation.  You must inform the instructor at least 5 days before if you will NOT be joining online so that accommodations can be made. Please be sure to check first before registering to ensure that the webinar can be adapted to meet this special accommodation. In addition, you may be asked to view some videos on-line prior to the presentation so that you do not miss important elements of the presentation.

Audio Requirements

If you choose to use the Voice Over the Internet Option, you will also need speakers on your computer and a sound card. If you would like to be able to speak directly to the instructor, you will need a microphone as well. You have the option to utilize the chat area if you do not have a microphone.

If you chose to use the teleconference service, you will need to have access to a phone.
