FAQ's and Directions

FAQ's

Q.  I am registering a group.  Do we all register at once or can each person do their own registration?  

A.  Yes, each person can register themselves.  If you are registering 5 or more and are eligible for the group rate, it is important that each person put the same organization name on their registration. 

 Q. Can additional people be added after we register? 

A. Yes.  This is not a problem

 Q. Can discipline tracks be changed once we register?

A.  Yes- this is one of the many great features of the registration system that we use.  As long as the person who registers remembers the password they chose, they can go into their record themselves and make any changes.  If they forget their password, we can go in and make changes, but we are not able to retrieve their password for them.  However, please keep in mind that some tracks have a class limit- so if the track is full, you will not be able to switch to that track.

Q. We are thinking about staying in L.A. a few days longer to go site seeing.  Do you know if we will be able to stay in the dorm at Azusa for an additional night or two?

A.  Yes, attendees may stay in the dorms until Sunday June 15th at 10:00 am.  All attendees must check out by 10:00 am Sunday.

Q.  I have a friend or spouse that would like to attend the evening performances.  Is this possible?

A.  Yes, we do sell tickets to each evening’s event.  The cost for opening night is $10.  All other evenings are $5/each.  However, tickets are not guaranteed until the conference opens due to the limited number of seats available.  Seats must be given to registrants first. 

Q.  Can I buy meals ala carte? 

A.  Unfortunately this is not an option.  The meal plan is a package deal and attendees who wish to eat on campus must buy the meal plan.  Due to our agreement with the food service department we are unable to offer meals ala carte.  However, there are many restaurants near the University.  A list will be included in your registration materials when you arrive at the conference. 

Q.  I have food allergies or other restrictions.  Can I make requests if I buy the meal plan?

A.  We make every effort to work with attendees when they have special food requests.  However, we cannot make any guarantees and are happy to handle this on a case by case basis.

Q.  Do I have to cho ose workshops prior to the conference?

A.  You do not have to sign up for workshops.  However, you will choose a Discipline Track when you register.
