Training Policy
Registrant Eligibility / Priority Seating
The OIIT-sponsored training courses are available to faculty and staff of institutions within the University System of Georgia (USG), PeachNet customers, and other education-related entities. Most registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. To maximize the overall effectiveness of the OIIT-sponsored training and meet our primary mission, the OIIT reserves the right to give priority to faculty/staff of USG and to limit the number of enrollments per institution depending on the course demand. Registrants who cannot be confirmed for a course due to high demand will be placed on a waiting list until the registration deadline. As seats become available, registrants will be selected by date added to the waiting list and notified. For special interest training courses, priority may be given to selected groups of institutions or participants. If you have any questions regarding eligibility, please contact Kathy Ecker at Registrar@usg.edu or call 404-463-7965.
