Please note it can take 3-6 weeks
for you to receive your check from ACM headquarters.
More About Original Receipts
AIR TRAVEL RECEIPTS: The easiest
way to supply original receipts is to provide
the receipt for your airline travel.
If you purchased your airline
ticket over the Internet, you must submit the
PRINTOUT of YOUR EMAIL RECEIPT AND your ORIGINAL
BOARDING PASS from the city where your travel
begins.
TYPES of RECEIPTS: acceptable receipts,
other than for airline travel, include food,
lodging, and other transportation (taxi, bus).
NO copies are accepted.
DATES on RECEIPTS: Receipts other
than for your airline tickets must have a date
that coincides with traveling to or from the
conference, or on conference days. For example,
since GECCO 2008 will be held from July 12 through
July 16, 2008, receipts other than for airline
travel must be dated between July 11, 2007 and
July 17, 2008.
INVALID RECEIPTS: Your conference
registration fee is NOT reimbursable.
Please take the time to understand
the following:
The ACM will NOT, under ANY circumstances,
release a check without the proper original receipts.
There are absolutely NO EXCEPTIONS to this ACM
rule.
