Surcharge
If you don't make reservations and stay at the hotel where University Learning Systems has reserved a block of rooms, you must add the attrition surcharge to the conference fee. Staying at hotel with an offer other than the ULS Group such as through a third party booking, still requires payment of the Attrition Surcharge. Hotel Attrition Surcharge: $50. Surcharge is waived for commuting students.
ULS will verify all rooming/cabin information with the hotel /travel agent and the hotel /travel agent has the right to release pertinent information to ULS for all attendees. No credit will be reported until the Attrition Surcharge is satisfied.
