TRANSPORTATION

Some properties are not located within walking distance and will require group leaders to provide transportation to the Convention Center.

SLEEP

Student Life has partnered with some area hotels so you can book your own rooms at a discounted rate! This gives you the flexibility and control to have the number of rooms & types of rooms you need to best accommodate your group! Want to arrive 1 day early or stay an extra night? Coordinate your needs with the housing option of your choice!

EAT

A meal plan that includes 6 meals is available for $90 per person.
Q. What meals are provided?
Lunch and dinner on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be provided by area restaurants including The Gumbo Diner, Taquiolo's Tex-Mex Cantina and more!
Q. Can I order meals for just part of my group?
No. Meals will be ordered for everyone in your group excluding those with a status of C1 (please see housing list instructions for status codes).
Q. Where will the meals be served?
More details to come but plan to pick up your meals at one of the area hotels and they can be enjoyed on the beach, at a nearby park, back at your hotel or wherever it's convenient for you! Meals will be packaged "to go."
Q. What time will meals be served?
Lunch will be available at 11am, following Rise. Dinner is at 5pm. Please arrive on time.
Q. If the Menu lists multiple entrees, can I choose my entree in advance?
No, selections will be served first come first serve.
Q. What about food allergies?
These should be noted on your housing list by June 17th. This info will be passed along to those preparing food. Attendees with food allergies will be given a marked wristband allowing us to know who will need alternate meal options.
Food allergies noted after the deadline may not be able to be accommodated due to food ordered in advance. Double check with everyone in your group!
Q. Can I adjust my meal numbers after June 17th?
We will not be able to decrease your numbers or switch your meal plan after June 17th, adding a couple people following this date should not be a problem unless we see significant increases in numbers. We will not be able to increase after TBD.
Q. Why is June 17th such a hard deadline?
We make financial commitments with both hotels and food vendors on this date. Large orders of food are placed based on the commitments we make.
Q. Do I need meal tickets?
At check-in you will be given a wristband that must be worn in order to receive meals. Please assist your group in putting these wristbands on so they are not too tight or too loose.
Q. Who should I contact if my question isn't listed?
Please contact Rebekah Eddy: [email protected] or 1-800-718-2267
Q. Can I see the menu?
Here's a tentative menu
