Reminders

Course Edits and Cancellations

After a course is registered, very few edits will be allowed. In most instances, you will be required to cancel the course in question and resubmit a new course registration form.

You MAY NOT:

Change the planned modification to the course
Change the total hours
Change the Lead Instructor's name
Change the start and end dates

In extenuating circumstances, please contact fspca@iit.edu. We will assess the situation and determine if edits can be accommodated.

Course edits and cancellations must be submitted via the FSPCA Technical Assistance Network (TAN) and the course registration number (REG-000000) must be referenced.

Add Your Name to the FSPCA Lead Instructor List

Once you successfully complete FSPCA PCAF Lead Instructor training, you have the option to have your name added to the public list of Lead Instructors for the FSPCA by updating your FSPCA Profile. Your name will NOT be added unless you opt in and update your profile.
