Refund Policy

Should symposium and/or short course cancellation be necessary, written refund requests (by fax or mail) must be received in the Turbomachinery Laboratory by midnight, JANUARY 26, 2009, for refund of registration fees.

Late cancellations (after the cancellation date) will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for personal hardships (death, injury, or illness of the attendee or an immediate family member). Refunds may also be extended for acts of God (hurricanes, etc.) and national emergencies (9/11, etc.).

The TL does not refund for business decisions (after cancellation date) by the attendee's employer such as: job reassignment, plant emergencies, etc. However, we encourage substituting another employee so the attendees' company receives the benefit of training. In the event of a "no-show" cancellation, short-course/Symposium materials will be forwarded to the absent attendee.

The State of Texas does not allow the TL to extend credit to individuals or companies. Therefore, we cannot apply registration fees for a missed course to another subsequent course.

The TL reserves the right to cancel any short course or Symposium and return all fees in the event of insufficient registration. We reserve the right to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. The TL will not be responsible for any losses incurred by the registrants, including but not limited to airline cancellation charges or hotel deposits.

The Turbomachinery Laboratory is a nonprofit entity and registration fees, after covering the costs of producing the symposium, are used to support research and continuing education at Texas A&M University.

There are many registration options available to our attendees. Perhaps you only have time for a short course on Monday, or cannot arrive in Houston until Wednesday. Whatever your requirements, we have an option to serve you.

Our competitive fees give you the best bang for your buck! Increase your productivity and professional expertise, network with key personnel in the industry, and earn continuing education units (CEUs), for fees ranging from only $250 up to $1190 US dollars.

Give us a call at 979-845-7417 if you have any questions about registering for the symposium! We look forward to your participation.
