Registration fees

ICPSR is a consortium whose members include hundreds of universities, foundations, government institutions, nonprofits, and more.

If you are a current student, faculty, staff, or researcher at an ICPSR member institution, you qualify for the discounted registration fee for participants from ICPSR member institutions (listed in the table below).

Discounts

Discounts cannot be combined. If you are eligible for more than one discount, we will apply the single highest discount to your registration fees.


Discount for returning ICPSR Summer Program participants

If you took an ICPSR Summer Program course in a previous year, you receive a 15% discount on your registration fee in this year’s ICPSR Summer Program.


Multiple enrollment discount

Participants who register in two or more topical workshops, or a topical workshop and a General Session, are eligible to receive a 15% discount off their total registration fees.

In order to receive this multiple enrollment discount, you must register for the General Session(s) and topical workshop(s) through our registration portals and then, before making your payment, contact icpsr-sumprog@umich.edu  and request the “Multiple Enrollment Discount.”

The multiple enrollment discount does not include sponsored topical workshops with discounted or no registration fees.

On-campus housing discount

Participants who purchase on-campus housing in the University of Michigan dorm are eligible for a 10% discount on their General Session registration fee. Visit our Travel & Lodging section for more information.


Group discount for academic departments or programs

We offer a group discount for academic departments or programs that send four or more participants within the same year. This discount may be used for both our General Sessions and our topical fee-carrying workshops. The discount rates are as follows:

  • 4-8 participants: 10% discount on their total registration fees
  • 9-12 participants: 15% discount
  • 13-16 participants: 20% discount
  • 17 or more participants: 25% discount

In order to receive the group discount, an official representative from the academic department or program must contact us at icpsr-sumprog@umich.edu  and provide the names and registration information (i.e., the sessions or topical workshops) of the participants they are sponsoring. We will then generate an invoice of the participants’ total registration fees with the discount included.

Participants must be from the same academic department or program in order to be eligible for the group discount. The group discount is not available for entire institutions.
