Students: 

For the first time, RWA is offering discounted registration rates to students. Student rates are 25% off the standard rate and are available for full-time students at an accredited institution.

Student members can receive discounted pricing by following the regular registration process. If you are a member and a student, and do not see the student rate available, please email conference@rwa.org. Non-members who are students will need to contact us at conference@rwa.org to validate enrollment and receive a discount code.

What is considered full-time?
Undergraduate students currently taking 12 credit hours or graduate students taking 9 credit hours are considered full-time. If you have questions about this, please contact info@rwa.org. 

What is considered an accredited institution? 
We use this directory to determine if an institution or program is accredited. 

Publishing Professionals:

Due to the move to a virtual conference, there will be no special pricing for industry professionals this year. If you are an industry professional who would like to participate in the conference, please contact conference@rwa.org before registering. 

Registration Deadline

Registration will close August 26 at 5 p.m. CDT. If you would like to register for conference after that, please contact conference@rwa.org.
