01   Student, Faculty, Staff & Institutional Registrations

The refund deadlines above apply to individual registrations and registrations paid for by an institution on behalf of students, faculty, or staff.

• Requests must identify each participant whose registration is being canceled.
• Canceling one participant does not automatically cancel other registrations submitted by the same institution.
• Institutional requests covering multiple participants must list each individual registration for which a refund is requested.
• Refunds will be issued to the original payment method or purchasing institution, as applicable.

02   Graduate & Opportunities Fair Participants

Graduate & Opportunities Fair registrations are subject to the same refund deadlines, including registrations purchased separately from the full conference.

• Cancellations received by July 31, 2026, qualify for a full refund.
• Cancellations received August 1 through September 15, 2026, qualify for a 50% refund.
• Cancellations received after September 15, 2026, are not eligible for a refund.
• Canceling a Fair registration forfeits the reserved participation and table space. Registrations cannot automatically be transferred to another institution or individual.

03   Registration Transfers & Substitutions

All registration transfers and participant substitutions must be requested in writing and approved by the NE-MURCS Conference team. Approval is subject to conference capacity and registration requirements. A transfer or substitution does not automatically entitle the original registrant to a refund.

04   No-Shows & Early Departure

Participants who do not attend, arrive after scheduled activities, or leave before the conference concludes are not eligible for a refund. Missing a presentation, workshop, or other scheduled conference activity does not qualify a participant for a refund.

05   Conference Cancellation & Program Changes

If NE-MURCS cancels the conference, the conference team will communicate applicable refund or alternative arrangements to registered participants. Changes to individual speakers, sessions, schedules, or other program elements do not automatically entitle registrants to a refund.

06   How to Request a Refund

All refund and cancellation requests must be submitted in writing by email. Please include the participant's full name, institution, registration type, and registration email address.

For institutional registrations covering multiple participants, please identify each participant for whom a refund is requested.
