In the interest of public health and safety, we request that workshop attendees participate from the privacy of individual offices/homes and computers. Even if the Corona​virus may have abated by the time this virtual online workshop is held, we believe it is important to continue to exercise caution, follow social distancing guidelines, and avoid gatherings of any size.

Rules and Regulations for Online Participation

• All online participants must have their camera (video) enabled and turned on at all times when the course is in session. In this way, the organizers can ensure proper attendance and prevent participation by individuals who have not paid the appropriate registration fee. The course instructor strongly discourages any type of multi-tasking during the workshop.
• If an organization pays the site fee, unlimited number of individuals may attend online as long as all individuals belong to the same organization. The organization will be required to provide a complete roster of participants together with full contact information.
• If an organization or agency would like to serve as a remote host site for the course, please contact Megan Pratt to make special arrangements. In this format, a professional organization chapter (say, an Institute of Transportation Engineers Chapter/Section) may serve as the vehicle for individuals from multiple employers, firms, and agencies to participate in the workshop remotely (virtually). The responsible “host” organization will be required to furnish a complete roster of participants together with full contact information (for each day of the workshop).
• We strongly discourage multiple people gathering in person to participate in the workshop.
• Registrants or organizations will receive special instructions and a passcode to access the online platform. Only individuals appearing in the pre-approved roster will be allowed entry.
• The registrant/organization is responsible to ensure that all systems are functional and tested. No refunds will be provided for instances where the registrant was unable to connect or participate due to technical difficulties. Refunds will be provided only in instances where the technical failures are clearly attributable to the workshop organizers at ASU.
