Following is a list of questions that are frequently asked of the conference office. If you have a question that does not appear here, but, would like to suggest that it be added, please send a message to hortelana2007@yahoo.com
- Q: What forms of payment do you accept for registration?
A: We accept checks and credit cards. Purchase orders should be avoided, unless they are submitted in order to receive a La Cosecha invoice that facilitates payment 30 days prior to the conference.
- Q: May I register over the phone?
A: Registrations cannot be taken over the phone. You must mail or fax your form and include payment to register.
- Q: Is on-line registration available?
A: Although some conferences offer on-line registration, we are not able to at this time.
- Q: Can we use Purchase Orders?
A: Payment must be received with your registration form. Note: DLeNM can provide an invoice (upon request) for your purchase order if this facilitates having a check issued and received before participating in the conference.
- Q: I sent in my registration, but, have not received confirmation from your office. How can I find out if my registration has been processed?
A: Registrations are processed when PAYMENT has been RECEIVED. Confirmation letters are sent to the e-mail listed on the registration form when payment (check or credit card) has been received.
- Other factors that affect your registration status:
A) Check the address that you listed on the registration form. If it is a school mailing address, check with your school’s office manager, as they may have received the confirmation.
B) Check your e-mail for a message from the following address: lacosecha_reg@duallanguagenm.org Please make sure to add lacosecha_reg@duallanguagenm.org to your address book to ensure our emails reach your inbox.
C) If your registration was sent to a third party (school secretary, district office, a colleague, etc.) please insure that the paperwork was forwarded to the La Cosecha 2007 registration coordinator in a timely manner. We don’t know you are coming, if we haven’t received your registration and payment.
- Q: I want to make sure that I get registered for the conference, but my school/organization’s purchase order/payment will take a while? How do I reserve a spot?
A: We suggest that you submit an alternate form of payment (check or credit card) , and submit for reimbursement from your school/organization. We will not reserve spots for those registrations that do not include payment.
- Q: Can I attend one portion of the conference and have a colleague attend the other portion?
A: Registrations may not be shared or split. One conference program and one name badge (that allows you access to all presentations and meals) will be issued per registration.
- Q: I am unable to attend the entire conference, and want to just “pop” into a sessions. I will not be attending the meals. Do I have to register and pay for this?
A: Anyone attending any portion of the conference must register and pay to attend.
- Q: I would like to have my spouse or guest join me for lunch only. Is this possible?
A: We can not accommodate guests for lunch, as the conference will reach capacity. All who attend lunch must have a conference badge to enter areas where lunch is being served.
- Q: My school/office/organization is submitting my registration with a Purchase Order, but, it will not reach the registration office until after the early registration rate deadline. Are we still eligible for the lower rate?
A: We must receive the completed registration form and an approved method of payment prior to the posted deadlines. Purchase Orders, or Purchase Requisitions do not reserve a space or guarantee a conference rate.
- Q: I had an emergency and was unable to attend the conference. Can I get a refund?
A: We must abide by the refund deadline posted policy listed in the registration brochure. La Cosecha is still responsible for paying the costs associated with your registration, regardless of whether you attend or not.
- Q: I am on a special diet. Can I order a special meal?
A: Vegetarian options are available on site,. If you have specific food allergies, we need to be notified prior to the conference. We are unable to accommodate special diets associated with weight loss programs (Atkins, South Beach, etc.).
- Q: May children attend the conference, including individual sessions?
A: We understand that family members may join you at the conference hotel, but we ask that you make other child care arrangements during session and meal times. The conference provides professional training for adults. Seating is limited in all sessions and is reserved only for paying participants.
- Q: My school paid for me to attend a School Site Visit, but, I have not received confirmation or notification of which school I will be attending. How do I know if I will be attending the school visits?
A: School Visit registration is processed when PAYMENT is RECEIVED. Your registration and/or payment may not have been received. Please see question number 5 for other factors that may be affecting your School Site Registration.
