Deadline: All registrations must be received by 5:00 p.m. EST on August 12, 2008. After this date, call the conference planner at 814-863-5100 for information about on-site check-in; if space permits, you may register for an additional $30.

Confirmation: The conference planner will confirm your enrollment and provide additional information. You will be alerted promptly of any cancellations or changes. If some unforeseen event forces Penn State to cancel or postpone the program, you will get a full refund of your registration fee; however, the University cannot be held responsible for any other related costs including cancellation fees assessed by airlines or travel agencies.

Refunds: If your request to withdraw is received by July 28, 2008, we can issue a partial refund. Send your written request by fax to 814-863-5190 or by e-mail to ConferenceInfo1@outreach.psu.edu. A $50 administrative fee will be charged for each withdrawal. Anyone who is registered but cannot attend may send a substitute.

Access: Penn State encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing special accommodations or have questions about the physical access provided, please contact the conference planner at 814-863-5100 before you visit.
