User Registration Requirements include: (1) Registration site must be 508-compliant (accessible to disabled users); (2) Registration site must be accessible via the web, compatible with common desktop browsers; (3) Registrant data collection to include contact data and parent institution information, and special (disability needs); and (4) Registrants must be able to view registration information at a later date and update/modify data or cancel attendance.
