Psi Chi is serving as a pilot group to test online payment for MPA registration. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO THIS, BUT IT MAY SAVE YOU SOME TIME IN LINE ON THURSDAY MORNING. It would be especially helpful if ONLY those who are presenting a paper or a poster do this online registration. We encourage those who are not presenting (but just attending) to pay when they get to Chicago. Finally, please note that this site is ONLY FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. Faculty members and graduate students (whether MPA members or not) should not register using this method. Email Dr. VanderStoep (
) if you have any questions. Here is the site:
