Registration and Fees

Q: Does the workshop provide any financial aid?

Q: What is covered in the registration fee?

Travel/Transportation

Q: I am not sure whether I could legally stay in the US for the workshop without a visa, or if this is not the case, what visa I would need. Do you know what the current regulations are and can you sponsor my visa application?
A: Please check all US entry-related matters on your end, as different countries have different immigration agreements with the US. We are not able to help with the entry processes to the US. As of October 26, 2004, there are some changes that international travelers to the U.S. should be aware of.

Housing/Accommodations

Miscellaneous

Q: Am I registered as a University of Illinois or Georgia Institute of Technology student for the workshop?

Q:Will I have internet access at the hotel and the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering & Bioscience?
A:Yes (details to come...)
