| Course
Cancellation Policy
The National Judicial College reserves the right to cancel or reschedule
any listed course. If a course is cancelled, a full refund of all fees
paid for the course will be issued. In the event that a course must be
cancelled, the NJC will provide at least 30 days notice. If a course is
cancelled and the participant has purchased airline tickets, the NJC will
reimburse the participant for the cost of the change ticket fee if the
participant transfers to another course within one year. If the participant
elects not to transfer into another course, the NJC will reimburse only
the tuition and conference fees that the participant has paid. The NJC
reserves the right to limit the enrollment in any scheduled class.
Participant

Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Continuing
Legal Education (CLE) Credits
CLE credits are provided to participants via a uniform certificate of
attendance form upon completion of applicable NJC courses. Participants
are responsible for filing this form with their states’ Continuing
Legal Education Commissions or Boards where required. While NJC courses
are nationally recognized by CLE Commissions or Boards, participants are
asked to please follow their states’ specific filing rules to have
their CLE credits approved. If further clarification is needed, please
contact the NJC Registrar’s
Office at: (800) 255-8343 or (775) 784-6747.

Classroom
Visitors
It is the policy of the NJC to restrict visitors to the classroom to ensure
free and open discussion among the participants and faculty.

Office
Hours
The National Judicial College’s office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. Pacific Time, Monday through Friday.
Attendance
The National Judicial College has a responsibility to the funding agencies
that
sponsor your attendance. The NJC must ensure that the tax dollars spent
on continuing education are utilized for maximum benefit. It is, therefore,
the policy and practice of the NJC not to award a Certificate of Completion
to any participant who fails to attend all educational sessions. Participants
who are unable to attend a class session(s) due to an emergency situation
must contact the program attorney/manager for the course immediately.
If any portion
of the course is missed, a participant may have to submit a written project
determined in consultation with the program attorney/manager for the course.
Failure to receive written permission or completion of the written project
may result in the denial of the Certificate of Completion and notification
to the funding agency and/or revocation of financial assistance.
Child
Care
The University of Nevada’s Child and Family Research Center (CFRC),
located in the College of Human and Community Sciences Sarah H. Fleischmann
Building on the UNR campus, offers programs for children ages 6 weeks
to 6 years on a space-available basis. For information about availability,
costs, times and registration, participants can call the CFRC office at
(775) 784-6762 and identify themselves as NJC participants.
Persons
with Disabilities
We will make every effort to ensure that the NJC courses are held at facilities
which are fully accessible to persons with disabilities. If you plan to
attend a course and will need special facilities, assistance or accommodations
relating to a disability or if you have special dietary requirements,
please notify the NJC registrar at registrar@judges.org or (800) 255-8343
or (775) 784-6747 or fax us at (775) 784-1269.

Due to new construction near the NJC there is limited parking available
