Three ways to register:
1. One-step online registration with payment via PayPal 2. Online registration with separate payment via Zelle or a paper check 3. Analog/paper registration form with payment via paper check
PayPal uses your credit or debit card to make a secure payment transaction. It integrates directly with our online registration form so it is convenient, fast, and does not require any extra steps on your part, however, it will charge us a small transaction fee. If you choose to cancel your registration, we will deduct this fee from your refund.
Zelleis an online payment service somewhat like PayPal, except that it is integrated directly into many banks' and credit unions' online banking, making it highly safe and secure. Plus, we are not charged a fee for receiving a payment through Zelle, so using this method keeps the convenience of online payment without the associated transactional fee, so in the event you need to cancel your registration we will be able to refund you the full amount.
Paying with paper check similarly avoids the transactional fee. Additionally, both a check and Zelle allow for paying the deposit only ($100 per adult + cost of any extras) for now, and the balance anytime between now and July 1, 2024. Please note that your registration is not complete, and you will not be considered for housing, etc., until we have received your payment in full.

Deadlines & Cancellation Policy
Full payment is due (postmarked) by July 1, 2024. Registrations received after this date will be subject to a $50 late fee and must be paid in full. Registrations received after July 10 will be accepted, but not guaranteed. SWIFDI will need to confirm with NMT that rooms and accommodations are available.
Cancellations: If you cancel between July 1-10, 2024, SWIFDI will retain a $75 per adult cancellation fee plus any fees incurred if payment was made via PayPal. No refunds will be made if registration is cancelled after July 10, 2024.
How to pay using Zelle or a paper check:
> Paying with Zelle
Fill out and submit the online Zelle/check registration form. You should receive an automatic confirmation response email from us which will include the total amount you owe; you can also find that number at the top of the last page of the form.
If you don't already have a Zelle account, find out if your financial institution offers it directly through your online banking. You can most likely find this information by searching through your bank or credit union's website, or by going to zellepay.com and using their search tool. If your finaicial institution does partner with Zelle, you can usually set up Zelle through your online banking. (We are not online banking experts; if you need help with this step, please call your financial institution directly and they should be happy to help.)
Find and set up SWIFDI as a recipient. From within the Zelle section of your online banking, search for our email nmaugustcamp [at] gmail [dot] com. Our name will be an abbreviated version of Southwest International Folk Dance Institute. If you are unsure whether you have found the right account, PLEASE contact us. Once you send a payment through Zelle it is extremely hard to reverse it if it went to the incorrect recipient.
Send your payment to us using Zelle. The Registrar and/or Treasurer will confirm with you when we have received your payment.
> Paying with a paper check
Fill out and submit the Zelle/check registration form. You should receive an automatic confirmation email with the total amount you owe; this amount is also printed at the top of the last page of the registration form.
Make your check payable to SWIFDI and mail it to: SWIFDI P.O.Box 21175 Albuquerque, NM 87154
