Register for Congress

Everyone attending the Congress, whether in person or online, must register for the Congress. This includes anyone who goes to sessions, gives papers in or presides over sessions, speaks in roundtable discussions, or otherwise participates in any Congress activities. The Program Committee reserves the right to deny future participation in the Congress to those who do not register properly and further reserves the right to refer any unpaid bills to the university's collection services. 

Registration is online only. A link will appear on this website when advance registration opens in February.

Late Fees

Advance registration for the 61st Congress closes on April 29, 2026, and registration fees are not refundable after this date. Continuing registration for those attending the Congress in person is available through the end of the Congress, but is subject to a $50 late fee. Continuing registration for those attending the Congress online is available through May 31 (when recorded sessions and other content are removed from the meeting site). The late fee does not apply for online attendees. 

Refunds

Refunds for registration fees are made only if we receive notification of cancellation by April 29. No refunds are made after that date. For any inquiries, email the Medieval Institute.

Subsidized Registration

The application deadline for subsidized registration for the 61st Congress will be February 28, 2026. A link to apply will be posted when available. 

On-Site Registration and Registration Packets

Registration packets will be available for pick up in the Student Organization Center, located across from the info desk in the Student Center during these hours: 

  • Wednesday, noon–8 p.m.
  • Thursday, 8 a.m.–8 p.m.
  • Friday, 8 a.m.–8 p.m.
  • Saturday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.

Those needing to register may do so at this same location; a $50 late fee applies to anyone registering on site. Please note that on-campus housing is limited and may not be available to on-site registrants. 

Congress attendees who have pre-registered for campus housing may go directly to their housing site to get their key, and then may pick up their packet before attending their first session.
