Free Short Course Offer for Student Members
Student members of IEEE/ComSoc, IEEE/Photonics Society and OSA may register for free for select Short Courses not yet at capacity after the pre-registration deadline of 19 February 2013. To achieve the full value of attending a Short Course, we encourage these students to pre-purchase Full Color Short Course Notes for $30USD at the time that they register for the course. Short Course Notes are a valuable take-home benefit of attending a course, and these notes are available only to attendees of the course. (Paid attendees receive one copy of the notes.)
Many Short Courses are in high demand—the best way to ensure admittance is to pre-register for the course before it reaches capacity. Free student registration will not be available for Full Day, hands-on courses or courses that are filled before the pre-registration deadline.
Student members are encouraged to visit the registration page after 19 February to sign up for a free Short Course and purchase the corresponding course notes.
Only students who register through the free student offer may purchase notes for the corresponding course, and they are strongly encouraged to pre-purchase notes to ensure availability. Notes must be picked up on-site.
