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 Society. You can mail, fax, or submit your registration form on the SC2002 Website. No registrations will be accepted over the phone. Forms received without payment will not be processed.

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.
