Why do I receive the error “Item Not Found” when I press Submit on the payment screen?
Because the credit card information is incorrect. It does not mean the card has been declined. It means it has not been found. Double check that the card information is entered correctly and submit again. If you continue to receive this error, please contact the Registration team.
Why is the credit card billing address already filled out?
Because it refers to your school’s billing address with AALS, which may not be tied to the credit card you are using for payment. Do not change this address. It will not cause your credit card to be declined.
Can I have a copy of the registration invoice(s) sent to my email account?
Yes, there is a place to insert your email address to receive a copy of both the itemized invoice and the hotel instructional emails.
Do individual faculty/staff members receive notification that I have registered them?
Yes, they receive a copy of their personalized invoice and hotel instructional emails. This is sent automatically by the AALS registration system.
How do I add someone to my school if their name does not appear in the Group Registration system?
First contact your Dean’s Office to ensure that the faculty/staff member is listed on your school’s AALS Roster. For further assistance with this process please email Support.
Can I use this method to register myself?
Yes. Simply choose your name under the “Add Registrant” option. However, if you are only registering yourself, it is easier to use Individual Registration.

There is no limit, but we have found that more errors occur with larger groups. We recommend that you register large groups in batches of 5 people at a time. Register the first five, then log out with the Login/logout link in the bottom right corner (do not use the Read more…
How is Group Registration different than Individual Registration?
