Broadway Show & Room Registration
Student participants will be invited to register their preferences for roommates and Broadway show selections after the trip registration period closes. In March 2009, participants will be invited to return to the Scholars in New York registration website to identify their Broadway show and roommate preferences. Prior to the trip, all participants will be notified of their show and roommate confirmations. Reservations for Broadway shows are on a first-come, first serve basis. If students do not select a specific Broadway show by the closing of the registration window, their show will be selected by the Scholars office.
Also during the show and room registration, students will be selecting their roommates for the weekend in NYC. Each room will have two queen beds and will sleep four student participants. All rooms will adhere to same-gender policies. Students may select roommates from the pool of registered participants. These roommates do not have to be from the same Scholars program. If students do not select a specific roommate, or roommates, by the closing of the registration window, their roommates will be selected by the Scholars office.
Mandatory Student Information Sessions
Students planning on attending the Scholars in New York trip will have to participate in a mandatory information session. The students will be provided trip information, behavior expectations, and a general itinerary for the weekend. Students who do not attend this session will not be allowed to attend the New York trip. These sessions will occur in the weeks leading up to the NYC trip, between late-March and mid-April, and more information will be forthcoming in the spring.
Conduct
As a student in College Park Scholars, you represent your individual program, the Scholars community, and the University of Maryland whenever you travel. You will make an impression upon New York City during the weekend trip - please make sure the hotel, the museums, the parks, the restaurants, and Broadway theatres will want to invite us back for another adventure.
No curfew has been posted for the students; the Scholars staff believes in your maturity. If, however, you abuse this trust in any way - alcohol, drugs, violence, vandalism, or disrespect - your actions will be dealt with accordingly in New York City and upon our return to campus.
If at any time your conduct does not positively reflect your program, you will be warned, and you may be restricted from activities, or sent home without a refund.
Be Courteous and Responsible!
Refund Policy
Due to the nature of this event and the contracts that have already been entered into, registrations are binding and cannot be refunded once students have paid. The exceptions to this rule are as follows:
1) Students are on a waiting list from the program of the student seeking a refund and can assume that student's seat. This exchange must occur prior to February 28, 2009; or
2) Students are faced with a serious emergency illness or death in the family in the week leading up to the trip and must cancel. Proof of excuse must be made in order to obtain any refund.
Should you decide to cancel without a refund or fail to check-in the morning of the event, you will forfeit your registration fee and be held accountable for all additional subsidy fees your program has provided to support your participation. Please understand that this will require you to refund your Scholars program the amount they have committed beyond that which you paid at the point of registration. If you fall into this category and do not reimburse your program directly, your student account may be charged for these fees. If you wish to learn the exact fees in question, please contact your program faculty.
