For full-time post-graduate students, the fee is £ 105.00.

IT IS OF CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE THAT YOU INDICATE VERY CLEARLY ON THE TRANSFER TEXT:

(b) your name and
(c) remember to tick the box for the transfer to be made without charge to the benefactor.

If the bank transfer is coming from an institutional account, please make particularly sure these details are included. The bank will provide the institution with a receipt for the transfer.
If the bank transfer is coming from your personal account, your bank will provide you on the spot with a receipt for the transfer.

Once the transfer has been activated, we ask you to please send us an email to confirm this, to IASIL2009@arts.gla.ac.uk writing in the subject box ‘IASIL 2009 transfer’ and in the body of the mail:

• Your name (as it is to appear on your conference badge);
• Your institution (as it is to appear on your conference badge;
• The amount and the date of your bank transfer;
• The name, address, and sort code of the bank you used.

If you are availing of the reduced postgraduate fee, please also give the name and email address of the supervisor or head of department who can confirm your standing.

We are very sorry it is necessary to enter into such detail, and we ask for this simply so as to minimise any likelihood of confusion. International banking is not perfect, as the world has been learning. We will not normally reply to these mails, and ask for them only so that we can set up an extra level of protection from you.

The conference desk will be open from 12 noon on Monday 27th July, at 4 University Gardens, Glasgow University. Along with the conference material we will provide individual paper receipts for all registered participants.

Further matters:

Conference delegates who require a formal letter for visa purposes, should make direct contact with the chair of IASIL, who has kindly agreed to undertaken this on official IASIL stationary:
Riana.ODwyer@nuigalway.ie

To cover the extra administrative expense we will incur in processing any late registrations, after 1st June 2009 we are obliged to charge an additional late registration fee of £50, which should be added on to the conference fee if making a late IBAN transfer.

Registered delegates who later find themselves unable to attend the conference may request a refund by notifying us BEFORE 30th June. We will then ask for separate written confirmation, and will be obliged to charge a £50 fee to cover the extra adminstration costs. We regret that no refunds can be made after 30th June 2009, for whatever reason, although substitutions will be acceptable if notified to us in writing before the start of the conference.
