PARKING
Parking is free and readily available around the hotel and conference center.
COST
The costs of all conference activities, meals, parking, and shared overnight lodging are covered by the Faculty Colloquium on Excellence in Teaching (FACET). Although FACET is covering the cost of your lodging, the hotel, as a standard practice, may require you to provide credit card information at check-in. This covers the cost of any long distance phone calls, room service, etc. and will be refunded at checkout if no charges were made. IF YOU DO NOT SHOW OR CANCEL LESS THAN 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE, FACET WILL CHARGE YOUR DEPARTMENT $100 FEE TO HELP COVER EXPENSES INCURRED.
HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS
Unless you have requested and paid the additional $75 charge for a single room, you will share a double room with another associate faculty member. If there is someone else attending the conference that you would like to share a room with, please list that on your registration form and we will make every attempt to accommodate this request. Otherwise, you will be assigned a roommate. Each room has an iron and ironing board, and small coffeepot for your use. There is complimentary wireless in the public areas of the hotel, but if you would like it in your room there will be a charge; FACET does NOT cover this charge.
TRANSPORTATION TO THE CONFERENCE
Please contact your department chair, campus's office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, or FACET campus contact about transportation to the conference. That office will be responsible for all transportation arrangements. Please note that, if you choose to drive separately in your personal vehicle, that cost may not be reimbursed to you by FACET. If you are reimbursed by your department, please note that per diem is not allowed for this conference.
