FAQ for virtual PSECCO-hosted events

All participants are expected to follow PSECCO’s community guidelines throughout the entirety of the event.  

We highly encourage participants to have a working camera that is on during events, as it allows for better engagement. However, a camera is not a requirement to attend PSECCO events unless otherwise stated in the event description. 

  • Many of the events that we host are recorded. All recorded events are made available after the event on the Center for Education, Engagement and Evaluation (CEEE)’s YouTube channel in a PSECCO playlist to be viewed, within approximately one week of the event. All relevant links/resources are also made available after the event.  
  • Some of the events that we host heavily rely on real-time engagement or are discussion-based. These events are often not recorded. People will benefit most from these events if they attend them in their entirety.  
  • If you arrive late at an event, tech support will still be able to let you in up to 15-minutes into the event. After that time, no new attendees will be admitted, as we design our events to build upon the content foundation that is built at the start. 

If you know that you can’t attend the event anymore, please cancel your registration by emailing psecco@colorado.edu no later than 48 hours before the event. This enables those who may be waitlisted to attend the event and also helps the PSECCO team accurately plan for the event.  

  • Upon registering for an event, you will receive a confirmation email from Constant Contact with a meeting link. 
  • We send pre-event reminder emails 2 weeks, 1 week, and 1 day prior to the event. The meeting link is hyperlinked in each of these reminder emails. 
  • If you are unable to access the meeting link through these methods, please email psecco@colorado.edu no later than 24 hours before the event.
