NEW REGISTRATION PROCEDURES FOR 2016

 

 

                For Illinois, the fee this year will be $6.50 for each student of AATF members and $10.00 for a non-member’s students.  There will no longer be a $40 site registration form or fee.  The deadline for the paper/pencil option will be December 22,  2015.  The deadline for the on-line option now February 19, 2016.  Registering students after that date will incur a  $2.00 per student late fee.

 

The on-line store to order materials for the 2016 Concours is not yet ready but we are beginning to take on-line orders and will process them manually. We will send a follow-up message once the on-line store is ready. If a teacher registers now, it is not necessary to register again in the on-line store when it does become available.

 

A noter:

1. We are extending the deadline for registering for the paper and pencil test until December 22, 2015. After December 23 you may only enroll students for the on-line version of the Contest.

2. Registration for the on-line test will be accepted until February 19, 2016. Starting February 20, registration will be available but a $2.00 per student late fee will apply.

3. AATF Membership must be paid in full at time of order to take advantage of the member rate.

4. We have created an on-line registration form. Each French teacher in your school can complete and submit this form individually, we will send you an invoice via email reflecting this order. Payment may be made by check or credit card. Information will be sent with invoice.

5. Payment may be sent after the deadlines listed above. Paper and pencil test materials and on-line access codes will NOT be sent until payment in full has been received.
