==== Deadlines & Accepted Payment Types ====
The Payment deadline is '''February 2, 2017''' for all payment forms except for institutional check. The payment deadline for those sending an institutional check is March 6, 2017 with the expectation that we will be contacted by your financial institution by February 2, 2017 to confirm a check is being issued. As long as there are empty spots in the course, we will accept late registrations (regardless of the payment deadline). If you register after the payment deadline has passed, payment is due immediately. Payment and all questions about payment should sent to Stacey Ladieu (sladieu at martinos dot org). Please Allison (astevens at martinos dot org) on your emails with Stacey so she can update your payment status accordingly.




==== Missed Deadlines & Cancellations ====
If payment has not been received by the payment deadline ''or'' in the case of an institutional check, your institution has not contacted Stacey Ladieu (sladieu at martinos dot org) with details of their payment arrangement by that date, your spot will be opened to the waiting list. There is no need to contact us to check whether your payment has gone through - your spot is safe unless ''we'' contact you.

Course fees are refundable up to the payment deadline. A $200 fee will be deducted, should you request a refund up to 2 weeks prior to the program. After that, the tuition can be applied to a future program or you can send someone in your place.

## In the case there are less than 40 registrants for the course, the course will be cancelled and the registration fee will be refunded to the registrant.
==== FAQ ====
 1. '''How many individuals are accepted into the Barcelona course?'''
  * 60 people
 1. '''Do postdocs qualify for the student rate?'''
  * No, sorry.
 1. '''The course is full. Can you register me for the next one?'''
  * You can sign up for our course mailing list and you will be notified when registration for the next course opens (that list is [[http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/fsurfer/interest.cgi|here]]). You can also register for the currently full course to be put on the waiting list for it. This does not however automatically get you a spot in the next course.
 1. '''Can I get a receipt for the course?'''
  * Sure! Paper receipts will be available on the first day of the course. If you need a receipt or invoice before then to get a check issued or reimbursed, please use the confirmation email you received when you registered for the course.
 1. '''How do I know if my payment went through?'''
  * Julieta will contact you when payment is received.
 1. '''Do I get any credits for taking this course?'''
  * No, but we will give you a certificate to prove you took it.
 1. '''Can I bring my own laptop to work on instead of sharing with someone else? '''
  * If any issues arise during the tutorial sessions which are unique to your laptop, we will not be able to troubleshoot those issues for you (it takes staff away from answering general tutorial questions). We strongly discourage using your own laptop instead of the ones we provide. If you insist on working on your laptop, please thoroughly test your installation ahead of time - guidelines for this can be found on the TestingFreeSurfer wiki.
