Here is some information you should know.
I am attaching a short video that will help you understand how to make a reservation for your room.
Here is some information you should know.
- First, it is important to have all your information gathered before you begin the registration process. Name of students, advisors, and parents (if needed), what type of room they will need and who they will be rooming with.
- Second, it is important to use a desktop instead of a mobile if you are booking more than one room.
- Third, the booking contact should be the advisor’s information that will be going. Please do not use a personal address, use the school address. Once you have gathered that information you will be able to access the passkey landing page from the National Registration page. When you click on conference and my registration and then go to Hotel Reservation. If you have any information, please contact Jennifer Streker at 801-540-4342 or call or email Housing at [email protected] or 480-998-9770.
