In this case, registration fees will be refunded; however, NASPA will not be responsible for additional costs, charges, or expenses, including cancellation/change fees assessed by airlines, hotels, and/or travel agencies. NASPA will not reimburse registration fees for weather, travel-related delays or cancellations, or other circumstances outside of NASPA's control that prevent an attendee from traveling to the event. 

Event Registration Policies

We're excited that you are registering for the NASPA Annual Conference! Welcome to the Registration Policies section of our website. You can find all the details for registration here. Please contact us if you are looking for something that is not here!

Member Pricing ▼

Member pricing is based on individual membership status at the time of the event.

At this time, the NASPA Annual Conference does not provide the option to join/renew and register in the same transaction. However, you will be given the option to join/renew prior to starting registration when you click the registration link.

If you have never been a member and would like to register for the NASPA Annual Conference at the member rate, please create a profile and join prior to registering.

Registration Refund / Cancellation Policy ▼

Refund requests received by January 14, 2026 will receive a full refund of your order, less a $50 service and processing fee. Please note, orders include all registration fees paid, including the main conference, pre-conference workshops, and any other ancillary events.

Refund requests received between January 15, 2026 and February 4, 2026 will receive a refund equal to 50% of your order.

Refund requests received after February 5, 2026 are not eligible for a refund.

To cancel a 2025 NASPA Annual Conference registration and request a refund, a written request must be sent to customer service. Cancellation requests will not be processed over the phone. Exceptions to the cancellation refund policy outlined above will be considered on a case-by-case basis and decisions will be made approximately 15 business days after the conclusion of the conference. Attendee substitutions are permitted. Substitutions should be the same member classification so that the payment is an even exchange transfer of payment. P

Cancellation Refund Request Deadlines

All refund requests received in writing as outlined above will be processed as a full refund. Refund requests must be received prior to the start of the event.

"Bill Me" Payment Option ▼

NASPA enables* a "Bill Me" function for the NASPA Annual Conference to enable individuals from institutions requiring payment by check to register.

Please note: Payment will need to be made by stated deadlines or your registration will be moved to the next rate.

*During May 1 - June 30, the Bill Me feature will be disabled as the special rate is only available for pre-payment of registration. Payment in full will be required during this time.

Substitutions ▼

Substitutions are allowed by individuals within the same institution/company. Substitutes should also be the same member type so that payment is an even exchange transfer of payment.

Please email information for the substitute attendee to customer service and provide all contact information including the title, email address, and NASPA ID#.
