On-campus housing will be available in the Heritage residence halls, conveniently located less than a five-minute walk from the performance venues. You must be a full conference participant (or an exhibitor) to register for campus housing. All housing is double occupancy, and the cost is $120.00 and includes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, July 21-26, 2008 (no meals are included). Partial conference housing packages are not available (there is no refund for unused nights). Please note: Housing is NOT available before or after the above dates.
You may request a roommate (of the same gender—there is no couples housing available) by providing your roommate’s name and a group link number when you register (both are needed in order for the computer to link you together). A group link number is a 10-digit number (usually the phone number of one of the participants). Your roommate must also register and provide your name and the same group link number with their registration.
Each person must submit a separate registration. Providing the linking information does not hold a housing space for someone who has not yet registered for the full conference and housing. If you do not select a roommate, one will be assigned to fill the vacancy.
Please read the following before registering for housing:
Free parking is available at the residence halls to on-campus housing participants. Free conference parking will be available at the Conference Center where the reading sessions will be held. Shuttle service will be available at all times from that location to main campus where the Harris Fine Arts Center and the Wilkinson Student Center are adjacent to one another. All conference venues and on campus housing are within a ten minute walking distance.
Signature Cards (campus-use debit cards) may be purchased upon registration for use at Brigham Young University on-campus cafeterias and restaurants.
The required initial deposit is $25. Additional deposits and balance inquiries are available at most locations displaying the Signature Card logo on campus. The card will be valid for on-campus purchases from Monday, July 21, through Sunday, July 27, 2008. Any monies remaining on deposit on the card after Sunday, July 27, are nonrefundable.
For further information and policies on Signature Cards, please visit the BYU Signature Card Web page at http://www.byu.edu/confservices/dining/dining.html.
A wide assortment of restaurants are also located on and near campus. Further information will be available soon on the restaurants and area attractions link on left-hand side of this page.
