Student Exhibition Deadline Extended!
Yesterday many of you experienced the inability to apply for the student exhibition. This was due to the strict security measures we have on our credit card systems. With the large amount of applications coming in yesterday, the security measures were activated and thus many of you were unable to process your application. We have extended the deadline to Friday February 20th at 5 pm eastern. If you continue to have problems with your application being processed, please try a new day and if then it still won't go through, please call the office at 541-345-5689. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Thank you,
