*CEU's provided by Appalachian State University.
Also, there is an area for you to indicate your roommate preference (this particularly affects those staying at the off-site accommodations). A set fee has already been negotiated for those rooms based on double occupancy. Anyone who changes roommates after registering at the hotel (resulting in people being housed in rooms without a roommate) will be responsible for the difference in the price of that room beyond the negotiated rate. Any questions relating to this policy should be directed toward the executive director.
