Late Registration
Late registrations, or registrations outside of the prescribed ticket availability date range, are at the sole discretion of DSA. DSA cannot guarantee the availability of all aspects of a particular event if registering inside 4 weeks prior to the event start as there is a risk that some program functions may be fully subscribed.
