FROM THE DIRECTOR: TBA


The following forms must be provided to the workshop director: individual registration form (student and advisor), participant agreement form (student and advisor), medical form (students) and criminal disclosure form (advisors). The advisor should distribute the forms, make sure they are completed properly, including all required signatures, and then send them all together to the director’s home address. All forms should be mailed one month prior in order to give the director time to make housing and small group assignments. Do NOT send the registration forms to the TASC office!

PAYMENT
Two workshop payment options were available to schools. If you made full payment at the time of registration, your receipt will indicate a zero balance. If you sent in a $100 deposit per person, the balance is due in one payment ONE MONTH PRIOR TO WORKSHOP DATE. Cancellations and refunds will be permitted until that date and must be made in writing to the TASC office. When applicable, the refund amount will be applied to the balance due. For each cancellation, there will be a $100 transaction fee assessed per individual cancellation. No refunds or credits will be given for cancellations after the deadline. Refunds will not be provided for workshop no-shows, regardless of the situation. Delegate substitutions made less than 10 days before the start of the workshop must maintain original delegate gender.
HOUSING
Students and adults should expect to room with someone from a different school, because part of the workshop experience is getting to know others. During the workshop, you will be expected to keep your room in order. You will be charged for damage to University property or loss of keys.

ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES

HOUSING
Students and adults should expect to room with someone from a different school, because part of the workshop experience is getting to know others. During the workshop, you will be expected to keep your room in order. You will be charged for damage to University property. A charge of $50 will be made for lost room keys and $10 per lost access card. Valuables (cameras, jewelry, etc.) should not be left in your room or in general session areas. Neither the University nor TASC can be responsible for loss of any article. Damage to campus property must be reported at once. Females will be housed in the Witt/Winn, and possibly Miller, Residence Hall and males will be in the Calvert Residence Hall.
WHAT TO BRING
Delegates should bring twin sheets, towels, washcloths, blanket, pillow, and personal toiletries. On the last night there will be an achievement program. Students may dress nicer than other workshop activities, but it's not required. Students are encouraged to bring items for Magic Note bags. (This can be note paper for positive notes, candy, trinkets, etc. to attach to notes if desired.)
Workshop staff will address issues of inappropriate dress on an individual basis. If the workshop director determines that dress is in violation of common decency, then the student/advisor will be expected to comply with the request to correct the issue or be in violation of TASC policy. Bring a pair of tennis shoes, because some activities will require them.
CELL PHONES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Neither TASC nor the University will be responsible for the loss of these items. Students and advisors who carry cell phones should not make nor accept calls during workshop activities. Students may want to bring a laptop, but TASC will not be responsible for any damage or loss.
ILLNESS
Illnesses should be reported to the Director immediately through your hometown advisor or one of the deans. Medical release forms provided with this pre-registration packet are important to our efforts to provide you with medical assistance in the unlikely event of an emergency (make sure you have an extra copy for yourself). Please complete the release form and return it to your advisor with your registration form. Campus security numbers are (210) 999-7070 for non-emergency situations and (210) 999-7000 for emergencies.
