Hotel and Travel Policy

The VCCS will cover one (1) night’s lodging and tax for each participant whose campus is fifty (50) or more miles from the site of the peer group meeting. Those whose campus is two hundred (200) or more miles may stay the night prior to the meeting as well.

Please be aware of the following:

• Hotel reservations are the responsibility of the participant and must be guaranteed with a personal credit card.
• The room block will be available on a first-come, first-served basis until the closing date or the room block has sold out, whichever comes first. Please book early!
• By booking in the conference room block, conferees will have their room charge and tax transferred to the VCCS master account upon check-in.
• Charges for incidentals, additional people in the room not affiliated with the peer group, and upgrades above per diem are the responsibility of the individual.
• The VCCS will not pay for rooms booked elsewhere while the block remains available.
• Should the block sell out, contact us at opd@vccs.edu for instructions.
• Hotel cancellations must be made directly with the hotel. No-shows are the responsibility of the participant.
