Registration Information

How to register:
  1. Everyone must complete the on-line registration form.
    (We do not take registrations by phone.)
    • We do this to ensure the accuracy of your information.
      (You know your information better then we do.)
    • Because each on-line registration creates an individual user account, each individual within a group must complete a separate registration form.
  2. Even if you do not want to submit your payment information on-line, still complete the on-line form.
    • There is an option to submit Credit Card information for payment by fax OR phone once the on-line form is completed and you have your invoice number.
  3. SANS ONLY ACCEPTS US & CANADIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PURCHASE ORDERS. If you normally use a PO, and are not part of the federal government, please see our additional PO information on the Tuition Information page.
  4. You must print YOUR OWN INVOICE at the end of the on-line registration process, if you need one.

An immediate e-mail confirmation is sent to you when the registration is submitted properly. If you have not received e-mail confirmation within two business days of registering, please e-mail us at athome@sans.org.
