NAPC96 Housing Check-In

From
Date
Many of you (many) have expressed concern to the Organizing Committee 
about the stated check-in times for dormitory housing at NAPC96.  Despite 
the stated "official" check-in times on all of the GW and/or NAPC 
literature, there will be a staffed desk ready to give you your room 
assignment and key 24 HOURS/DAY.  If you arrive very late (e.g. 12 
midnight or later) you will be given your room and your check-in will be 
completed the next morning. You will not be forced to spend a night on 
the DC streets!  

For those of you that are driving and need to park your vehicle, you will 
need to check in at the dorm FIRST. Once you have your room assignment 
and you've unloaded your belongings, you need to go to the University 
Parking Office.  The address is 2211 H Street, which is only a few short 
blocks away from the dorm.  With your verified room registration in hand, 
you are eligible to purchase reduced rate parking passes for the 
University Parking garage.  The reduced rate is $8.50/day. They accept 
ONLY cash, money orders or traveler's checks.  The parking garage has 
several entrances >>IMPORTANT<< and you will use the I Street entrance 
between 22nd and 23rd Streets.  >>>VERY IMPORTANT<<< The parking office 
is only open Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM, but if you arrive for 
example, on Saturday night and need to park, you can still enter and park 
in the garage, but you will not be able to gaet the reduced rate until 
the office opens on Monday morning. Instead you will pay the regular rate 
of $11.50/day. (I know these sound steep to some of you, but even the 
regular rate is cheaper than comparable garages in the vicinity - welcome 
to DC!)  The parking garage is staffed 24 HOURS/DAY and so you will be 
able to get in and aprk even if you arrive very late.

When you get to the dorms, you will get "clear" map of the general GW 
campus + a pocket guide to the Metro System and other "general 
information" to make the non-science part of the meeting flow a little 
smoother for you. If you have any questions please send message to:
