How to Register

1. Everyone with Internet access must complete the online registration form. (We do not take registrations by phone.)
2. Even if you do not want to submit your payment information online, still complete the online form. There is an option to submit Credit Card information for payment by fax OR phone once the online form is completed and you have your invoice number.
3. SANS ONLY ACCEPTS US & CANADIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PURCHASE ORDERS. If you normally use a Purchase Order, and are not part of the federal government, please see our additional Purchase Order information on the Tuition Information page.
4. You must print YOUR OWN INVOICE at the end of the online registration process, if you need one.

We recommend you register early to ensure you get your first choice of courses. 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 call the SANS Registration office at 301-654-SANS(7267) . You may also contact us by e-mail at registration@sans.org.

Important Registration Deadlines

How to tell if there is room available in a course

If the course is still open, the secure, online registration server will accept your registration. Sold-out courses will be removed from the online registration.

What to do once registered

Once you receive your payment confirmation e-mail, all you have to do is check in at the SANS registration desk upon your arrival at the Training Event. E-mail alerts will be sent to you before the Training Event with registration times, registration locations, and laptop requirements (if applicable). To check in you will need to present a photo ID. At the registration desk you will receive your SANS badge, applicable course materials, and information you will need while you are at the Training Event.

If you must substitute / cancel

Substitutions:
You may substitute another person in your place at any time PRIOR to the start of the course by e-mailing registration@sans.org. Only the person identified in your e-mail may be substituted for the original person registered, and once substitution is made, the original registrant can only attend the course by paying full tuition fee.

Refunds:
If you have no one to replace you, please submit your refund request in writing to registration@sans.org, postmarked no later than Wednesday, July 8, 2009. Your pre-paid fee will be returned, less $300.00 processing fee, in the same manner in which it was paid. No refunds will be given after Wednesday, July 8, 2009.
