Q. “I started my registration but was interrupted, am I registered?”

You will know you are registered when you arrive at a registration confirmation screen and receive a copy of the registration confirmation in your email.

Q. “My organization will not pay for field tours or guest fees, can I use multiple forms of payment on my registration?”

A. Yes, Once you arrive at the payment information section of your registration, adjust the “Amount to apply to this payment” to reflect the amount of the first form of payment, complete payment information and click the "Continue" button at the bottom of the page.  Your first payment will be processed and the amount will automatically update to reflect the new “Balance Due”. Delete the payment information you previously entered, input the new information and click the "Continue" button at the bottom of the page.

Q. “I work for a government agency that has restrictions on when I can pay for my registration, can I register now and defer payment?”
