Registration

Membership

Membership in the WSC is open to anyone. Annual membership fees are due in February. Renewal corresponds with the annual meeting. Members receive a reduced conference fee, annual newsletter, and preference regarding paper selection for presentation during the annual conference.

• Regular Membership -- The annual membership fee for faculty and justice professionals is $50 ($45 plus a $5 Pay Pal processing fee).
  
  
• Student Membership -- The annual membership fee for students at the undergraduate, master's, or doctoral levels is $25 ($20 plus a $5 Pay Pal processing fee). Students who attend the annual conference do not have to pay a separate membership fee; it is included in the cost of conference registration. Thus, only students who wish to join the WSC, but who will not attend the society's annual conference, should pay this membership fee.
  
  
• Lifetime Membership -- Anyone may purchase a lifetime membership in the WSC for $505 ($500 plus a $5 Pay Pal processing fee).

Conference Registration

Conference registration entitles one to attend all conference sessions, receive a copy of the program, and participate in various hosted food events (typically an opening event with hors d'oeuvres, coffee and cookie breaks, a luncheon, and a closing brunch). The cost of participating in the annual WSC conference varies depending on membership status.

• Regular Members -- Faculty and justice professionals who are members of the WSC pay $140 to participate in the annual conference ($135 plus a $5 Pay Pal processing fee).
  
  
• Student Members -- Students who wish to participate in the annual WSC conference pay $105 ($100 plus a $5 Pay Pal processing fee). Please note that this fee includes a one-year student membership in the WSC. Thus, students attending the conference should not pay the $25 student membership fee.
  
  
• Non-Members -- People who are not members of the WSC but who wish to participate in the society's annual conference pay $205 ($200 plus a $5 Pay Pal processing fee).
  
  
• Late Fees -- The prices listed above apply to advance conference registrations. An additional $20 will be added to the cost for anyone registering within 30 days of the conference (including those who register on-site). Thus,
  • late registration for regular members costs $160;
  • late registration for students costs $125; and
  • late registration for non-members costs $225.

Since catering costs account for most of the the annual conference fees, and last-minute changes to catering counts can dramatically alter the society's costs to host meals, on-site registration is strongly discouraged. We therefore respectfully request conference attendees to register in advance to help keep costs to a minimum.
