- COVID transmission rates that = meet or exceed the CDC High Transmission Risk rate in the county hosting the event within the week leading up to the event.
- Greater than 100 new cases per 100,000 persons within the host's county in the past seven days

If the hosting site county exceeds any of these rates, all safety guidelines (including mask mandate) must be followed.
NRPA reserves the right to reinstate the safety guidelines at any time.
A candidate who has a disability may request a special accommodation; the request must be submitted in writing at the time of course or exam registration. The request form is available online at www.nrpa.org/cpsi. In order to properly accommodate all persons with disabilities, it is recommended that all requests be made 45 days prior to the scheduled date for the course and exam.
English as second language (ESL) candidates may request a time extension and/or the use of a strict translation dictionary. Request forms/fees must be submitted to NRPA no less than 30 days prior to the exam. The request form is available online at www.nrpa.org/cpsi.
Under the NYSRPS Event Cancellation Policy
As posted on nysrps, no refunds within 30 days are given. Unfortunately, this will be enforced with CPSI. NRPA charges the Society for the number confirmed regardless who is in actual attendance so the instructor's travel and compensation is covered. In the event of a COVID illness, documentation may be required for a refund. We thank you for your understanding.
Lodging is up to you. Hotels.com is a great way to search for options that satisfy your budget.
