Registration Instructions

PLEASE READ BELOW TO AVOID DELAY IN
RECEIVING YOUR CERTIFICATE!
- You will receive an email a day or two prior to the class date, giving you the Zoom link to access the online class and the PDF version of the workbook. We use the email you provided when you paid through PayPal. If you do not receive an email by the day before your seminar, please email [email protected].
- You may enter the class 30 minutes prior to its start, which is advisable in case you have technical issues. The class will be locked 15 minutes after the class begins, so please be on time or else you will have to re-register. There are no refunds for those who are locked out because of lateness.
- If you get kicked out of the class due to internet problems, you may have trouble getting back in if the class has been locked. In that case, please email or call the number you were provided at the beginning of the class.
- Upon entering the seminar, you will be put in a waiting room, and you will be admitted by the staff after it is determined you are a registered participant. YOU MUST ENSURE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME ARE ON YOUR VIDEO FEED (IN THE BOTTOM CORNER) so the observer can verify your attendance. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DISPLAYING YOUR FULL NAME, PLEASE EITHER CHOOSE YOUR FIRST NAME AND LAST NAME INITIAL OR YOUR FIRST NAME INITIAL AND LAST NAME. If that is not enough of an identifier, the observer may request that you display the last four digits of your case number for verification. You can change it yourself by clicking on your video picture and click “Rename” on the drop down menu under “More”. If you have trouble with that, utilize the chat feature to let staff know what your name is and it will be changed. We cannot verify attendance without knowing your correct name. Once the class is locked, you may be removed from the class if we can’t verify your name.
- Class participants are muted upon entry, however, everyone is required to have their video on for the entire seminar and be visible in the video. We highly recommend that you and your co-parent attend on different devices if you are attending a class on the same date/time, so the observer can easily tell who is attending the seminar. These rules are no different than prior to COVID, when everyone had to attend the seminar in person. You would be required to check in, be present and listening for the entire seminar, except during scheduled breaks.
- Please ensure you are in a quiet and private place to view the seminar. Just like we do not allow children to be present during the in-person seminar, it would not be appropriate to have them present during the online version. This seminar is meant for adults only.
- If you have any technical issues logging in before the class or any issues during it, log on to www.cnfc.org and click on the green chat icon at the bottom of any page. It is monitored live 30 minutes before each class and during the class. Once you have logged into the class, you will be able to use the Zoom chat feature as well.
- You will receive a 4-digit PIN (one number at a time throughout the seminar). After the seminar, you will receive an email with instructions on how to complete a survey and enter the PIN number to receive your certificate of completion. When it is verified that (1) you were registered for the seminar, (2) you attended the online version the entire time with video on and correct name, and (3) you emailed the correct PIN number, a Certificate of Attendance will be automatically e-mailed to you.
- There are no refunds for those who do not fulfill the above PIN requirements.
- We do not file certificates with the court. If you have a DeKalb County case, your certificate will be filed automatically by them within seven days in accordance with our list of verified attendees. If you have a case in another county, however, you will need to contact your attorney or the county where your case if filed to get instructions about how to make the certificate part of your case file. If you have a question or concern about your certificate being filed in DeKalb County, please email [email protected]
