   If you must process your payment through either the SUNY or CUNY Research Foundation, please make every effort to ensure that your check is sent ONLY if it is attached to the registration forms. Every year, a number of RF checks arrive for processing without the proper registration paperwork. Tracking down the source of these checks requires an excessive amount of time and effort. Failure to ensure that your payment is accompanied by your registration paperwork is likely to result in delays in registration. Registration fees must be paid with institutional checks or money order; please do not send cash. Institutional credit cards are not acceptable forms of payments.
   
   WHO PAYS?
   Anyone attending any part of the APACS Annual Meeting must submit payment for registration. The registration fee covers the costs of the conference, materials, and meals.
   
   GUESTS:
   If you anticipate bringing an unregistered guest (e.g. spouse, family member) to the conference and wish to have them partake in the meals offered throughout the conference, you MUST contact Christopher Fernando no later than May 18, 2012 to notify the Planning Committee. See below for meal costs for unregistered guests. Anyone joining us for meals only must pay the Guest Meal Fee by May 25, 2012.
   
   CANCELLATIONS:
   If, for some reason, you have paid a registration fee and need to cancel your registration you must do so no later than 5pm on May 13, 2012 if you would like your registration fee refunded. Contact Christopher Fernando via email (cfernando@uamail.albany.edu) to cancel. Cancellations after that date should still contact Christopher Fernando via email (cfernando@uamail.albany.edu) to inform the planners of your decision. Cancellations made after the May 13, 2012 will not be eligible for a refund. Please note that the cancellation policy and deadline dates for guests are the same as for APACS members.
   
   SUBSTITUTIONS:
   Once your paid registration is verified via email, you have until Friday, June 3rd to make any substitutions. If you wish to replace one registered staff member with another unregistered member we request that you contact Christopher Fernando via email (cfernando@uamail.albany.edu) no later than 5pm on June 1st. A registration form for the new registrant must be attached to that email. Please indicate at the top of the form the name and institution of the registrant being replaced (e.g. “REPLACES JANE W. STAFFER, XXXX COLLEGE”)
