Payment must accompany all registration forms and can be made by credit
card (MasterCard, VISA, American Express, and Diners Club), company
or personal check, and wire transfers (a fee of $25 per wire transfer
should be added to the total amount). Checks or money orders must be
in U.S. funds, drawn on U.S. banks, and payable to the IEEE Computer

On-site registrants will pay late registration fees. Forms of payment
accepted on-site: credit cards (MasterCard, VISA, American Express,

Wire transfers will not be accepted at on-site registration.
Tutorials
Full-day tutorials are being offered on Sunday and Monday, 17 and 18
November. These are not included in the technical program registration
and require separate registration.
A special Tutorials
Passport for one or two days is available. A one-day passport (either
Sunday or Monday) entitles you to attend any tutorials offered on that
day, a tutorial luncheon, and your selection of notes for one full-day
tutorial. A two-day passport gives you approximately a 20% discount
on the price of two one-day passports. Your selection of tutorial notes
must be specified on the registration form. An additional benefit of
the Tutorials Passport is that you can purchase additional tutorial
notes at a significantly reduced rate.
Seating at the tutorials
is on a first-come, first-served basis. You are welcome to sit in on
as many other tutorials as you like for the day(s) you are registered,
but you will receive only the notes that you reserve in advance.
Tutorial Notes
Tutorial notes can be picked up at the SC2002 Conference Store upon
presentation of the notes ticket(s) provided in your registration packet.
You will only receive notes for the tutorial(s) you selected when you
registered.
Proceedings
Attendees registered for the technical program will receive one copy
of the SC2002 proceedings on CD-ROM. Any extra copies of the proceedings
will be on sale at the Conference Store.
