Frequently Asked Questions
Faculty from ESCALA HSI Faculty Summer Institute 2017 (New Mexico).
How much does the Certificate/Retreat cost?
The cost per faculty is $2400. Generally we wait until all the faculty from your institution register, and generate a single invoice on June 1 for all faculty that are registered from your location. What does the price include? This includes the 5 day online Retreat in the summer, and all course materials. Also included in the Certificate registration cost is everything that a faculty member would need to do to complete the 27-hour Certificate program. This includes time with a peer faculty coach and ESCALA support staff that will help faculty submit materials required for the Certificate. How does payment work? On or before June 1, 2020 ESCALA will send an invoice for all registered attendees to the institution via the Title V, III or NSF-HSI grant director. Individual faculty members will be responsible for working with their home institution for hotel, airfare, and other related travel expenses. CTL Refund policy: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY If a faculty member cancels on or after June 1, 2020 their home institution has two options: (1) to substitute another attendee or (2) receive a credit for another attendee the following year. If a registered attendee cancels before June 1 the institution will be notified and not charged on the June 1 invoice. This policy is to protect our program as we hire coaches, print booklets and do many other things to prepare for the participants--to have a late cancellation is incredibly harmful to our coaching program in particular as we need to reduce our coaching pool.
