Excellent -
Thank you, Tim, for finding the rule. We'll breathe easier here (at least about this!).

Nancy,
They have to pay the one day registration fee.
This is what is in the Procedure Manual, appendix 1, page 51:
The registration fee charged for the SCC/MLA Annual Meeting is designed
to pay for the cost of the meeting. This means that all persons
attending the meeting must pay the registration fee and any extra fees
for meals, workshops or continuing education courses.

OK, we need a ruling, please, ASAP. Our form was based on what we got
from Arkansas, which had 5 days for one-day registration options (and I
think I heard that they based theirs on someone else's). We shifted the
days, because this year it's different, but didn't add any. We can't
change the paper one that went out, but we can change the online one,
but it takes a while for Derek to make changes across the different
forms (original, confirmation/changes, and email confirmation).
Probably takes less time than adding things in, but still we need to do
this before many people register (far more have made hotel reservations
than conference registrations to date).
Tim, is this an EB question? Can this be expedited? I don't think
we've had any oneday registrations yet, so it's not a matter of needing
to refund money... yet.
Thanks,
Nancy

All-
I agree with Shirley, the CE courses are usually held before or after
the actual conference. They do not count as a day of the conference. In
the past, only the 3 real conference days have a one-day registration
fee.

My opinion (should it be worth much) is that attending a CE is not the
same as attending the conference. The CE class fees pay for the cost
of
putting on the class. The Conference fees pay for the cost of doing
all
the other things we do...and if you attend any of that you have to
register for the day.

Subject: Fwd: Registration cost question
Good Friday afternoon to all:
I just received the following question:
If a coworker wants to attend one CE course on Saturday, does he need
to
pay the CE course cost plus a one day registration fee or just the
course cost? Thanks for the clarification!
I've always assumed that you had to register for one day of the
conference if you wanted to take a CE. I can't find anything about it
in the LAC Procedure Manual, at least there's nothing in the CE
section.
Tim, if this should go to the EC, please forward on.
Please advise ASAP as this would also impact potential promotion of
the
CE courses to the University Libraries faculty and staff.
Thanks,
Nancy
