The lead student authors of each paper must be registered at a college or university, either as an undergraduate or graduate student, and must have written the paper while so registered.

If the paper is accepted, it will be placed into the Student Paper Competition Sessions at the Conference.
- The final paper must be written in accordance with ITI Instructions for Authors, and all reviewer comments must be resolved. The final paper will be published in the Conference Proceedings.
- The lead student author must present the paper during their designated Student Paper Competition Session at the Conference.
