Waitlist

Each year of programming has a limited capacity and may fill up quickly.  CPRS will maintain a waitlist to be monitored daily.  We anticipate "movement" among the waitlist by late September.
To get on the waitlist or inquire about registration logistics, please email CPRS HQ at [email protected] with the full name, email, title, gender, & program year of the person joining the waitlist.

Below is an overview of availability for each program as of June 1, 2026: 

• Grad Forum is admitting registrants

Cancellation & Transfers

All cancellation and transfer requests must be submitted in writing via email to CPRS HQ at [email protected].  You may reach out via email or phone at (916) 665-2777 to discuss your options.

Cancelations requested on or following Friday, September 18, 2026, will not be eligible to receive a refund.  

In the event a registrant is no longer able to attend, a transfer to an alternative participant at your agency/company may be requested.  We cannot guarantee a transfer will be permitted unless the transferee is due to participate in the same year of programming and presents as the same gender as the original registrant.  In the event the transferee differs from the original registrant's year of programming and/or gender, we can add the transfer request to the top of the wait list to monitor if/when an opportunity to pursue the transfer arises.  If a transfer is approved less than 30 days in advance of the school, we cannot guarantee a windbreaker jacket will be available in the desired size of the transferee.  

Transfers requested by Thursday, August 27, 2026, will be subject to a $50 transfer fee if approved. 
Transfers requested on or following Friday, August 28, 2026, will be subject to a $100 transfer fee if approved.  
If CPRS membership status differs between the original student and transferee, the price difference for registration/transportation will be assessed at the time of approval in addition to the transfer fee.
