2010 Registration Information
Registration Cost: $400
Early registration ($350*)
As a special incentive for early registration, the cost for each institute is $50* less if registration is postmarked on or before May 31, 2010. Many of the institutes regularly fill to capacity, so register early. Do NOT purchase airline tickets until you have received confirmation of your completed registration. CARLA is not responsible for airline penalties if tickets are purchased before you have received confirmation that you have been registered in a summer institute.
(* does not apply to the special U of MN student rate. See Credit page.)Some of the CARLA summer institutes fill up quickly!
