If you received an invitation to register for the event, you won't see this field.

If, in the Sign Up for Event form, the event you're signing up for is labeled a Repeating event, it means the event is part of repeating series. For example, a class event is often a series of occurrences that repeats weekly over a period of a month or two.

When you register for a repeating event, exactly what you're registering for depends upon how the event creator set up the registration options.

If the repeating event is listed:

• Like this

  

  You're signing up for just that one occurrence.

• Like this (with a Repeats field)

  

  You're signing up for every occurrence in the series.

• Like this

  

  You can decide whether you want to register only for the single occurrence, for the entire series, or for selected occurrences in the series.

Tip If, on a calendar, you find a repeating series that has open registration (that is, you see sign-up or wait list buttons beside the events in the calendar) and you want to attend the entire series, be sure to locate the first occurrence in the series before you click the sign-up or wait list button.

You see this message if the event organizer set a registration limit, which has been met. You may have the option of adding your name to a waiting list.

You see this message if the event organizer set a registration deadline and that deadline has passed. You won't be able to sign up for the event.

This information describes the event for which you are signing up. The event information you see may not look exactly like this information. The event organizer decides what information to list about an event.

You see this option if the event organizer lets attendees bring guests. For example, the event might be a company picnic to which employees can bring partners and children. Select the number of others that you plan to bring with you.

If the event organizer elected to make the response list available to everyone who signs up for the event, you'll see the response list under Status. The list shows you who else has responded and whether they are attending or not.

Select OK if you plan to attend the event.

If you were invited to the event or you're changing your registration status and you won't attend, click Decline.
