Registration Procedure:

  1. Download a copy of the Registration Form (pdf) to your computer. Please completely fill it in electronically (so it can be read easily). With the exception of spouses (not attending sessions) each person attending the meeting must fill out a separate registration form. If there will be one payment for a group of attendees please note that on each registration form under comments.
  2. Use "File Save As" in Acrobat Reader to save the filled in form. The form plus the data are savable if you are using Acrobat Reader Version 8 or 9. If you are using an older version you may have to download version 9 here.
  3. If you pay by PayPal below: Attach the completed form to an Email message and send to jerry.finke@ncwildlife.org.
  4. If you pay by Check or Money Order: You can print out the form and send it to the address on the form with payment. You can also send the form by email to jerry.finke@ncwildlife.org and send the check separately by postal mail. If you decide to do this just make sure you indicate the check is being mailed separately in the comment section of the registration form.
  5. If you have any questions you can contact Jerry Finke, Registration Chair at 919-528-9886 x 2 or email me at the above address.

PayPal Instructions

When registering for the 2010 Spring Meeting there are four possible payment categories: Registration Type, Workshop 1, Workshop 2 and Workshop 3. There are PayPal “Add to Cart” buttons for each of these categories. Each button includes a pull down for you to pick from. Since Workshop 4 is free there is no payment option. Likewise the student option in Workshop 3 is free so only the professional option is listed. The PayPal section is only used to collect payment; the registration form will determine who is enrolled in each workshop.

Anyone with a valid credit card can pay their registration by PayPal. There is one thing to note though. When testing I found PayPal will insist that you go through your PayPal account if it detects you have one. The way it detects that you have a PayPal account is by your email address or if you use a credit card that is stored at PayPal. It is up to you whether you want to go through your PayPal account. If you have an account and don’t want to use it then make sure you use an email address and credit card number not associated with any PayPal account. I have a PayPal account and I tested it both ways without incident.

Tip: If you do login and pay through your PayPal account, note that PayPal defaults first to any cash you have stored at PayPal and then to your registered bank account. If you have cash in your PayPal account you will usually have to remove it (by transferring it to your bank account) to pay by credit card. In addition if you want to pay by credit card make sure you click the change payment link to a stored credit card or add a new card for payment.

PayPal Payments

Registration Type:
 

Payment Steps:

1. Choose your registration type from the pull down and click add to cart. A window will open showing you the current cart. If the cart is correct you can either click proceed to checkout or close the window and add workshop payments to the cart. If at any time you want to delete an item from the cart simply click the remove check box and then click update cart.

2. Continue in this manner until the items and total payment amount in the cart agrees with your registration form. You can use the view cart button at any time to see the contents of your cart.

3. Once you are satisfied that your cart is correct, click the proceed to checkout button.

4. The checkout window will open. At the very top of the window is a summary of the total cost. There is a downward pointing arrow just below that. Click on this to see a detailed list of items (similar to the cart). If everything is correct you can go ahead and checkout.

5. To checkout either login to your PayPal account on the lower right or click the continue link on the lower left under “you don’t have a PayPal account”.

6. If you login to your account follow the PayPal screens to make payment.

7. If you click continue the payment screen will open. Fill in all the information it requires including name, credit card info, credit card billing info, etc. When you are finished click review order and continue.

8. If everything is correct on the review screen go ahead and make payment.

9. You will have an option to print a PayPal receipt after a successful payment. In addition a PayPal receipt will be sent to the email address you entered in the payment window.
