Registration & Housing Information

Rates

Registration fees are lower if you pre-register. Register before June 27, 2008 to take advantage of lower rates and avoid lines at the registration desk.

Flexible Arrival

If you pay in full with your mail-in registration and include completed medical forms for everyone under 18 years of age (and Letters of Under-standing for Young Friends), you can check in to your room at any time. Whenever you arrive, go directly to FSU's 24-hour Registration Desk in Westminister Hall to receive nametag, meal card and room key.

First-Time Attender Certificates

Each Monthly Meeting can award up to three vouchers to first-time attenders giving them two free nights at Annual Session. First time attenders using vouchers must preregister and include the voucher with their registration. Contact your Monthly Meeting Clerk for information.

Medical Release Forms

We MUST have a medical release form on file for each minor child.

Registration Hours

If you have not completely prepaid and sent all of your forms to the BYM office, your first stop on campus needs to be the BYM Registration Desk, located in Westminster Hall. Volunteers will be there to help you at these times:

Monday:	noon - 2:15 p.m.
	4:30 p.m - 6:00 p.m.
Tuesday:	12:30 p.m. - 2:45p.m.
	5:30 p.m.- 6:00 p.m.
	9:15 p.m - 9:30 p.m.
Wednesday -	1:15 p.m.- 2:00 p.m.
Saturday:	5:30 p.m.- 6:00 p.m.
	9:15 p.m.- 9:30 p.m.

PLEASE NOTE: If you will be arriving after 9:30 p.m., you must prepay in full or make special arrangements in advance with the Yearly Meeting Office to be able to get into your room. If you arrive when the BYM Registration Desk is not open and you have not prepaid and sent in all necessary forms, feel free to join the scheduled adult activities until the next registration time. Children, however, may not join the children's program until we have copies of their Medical Release forms. All children must remain in the care of their parents or sponsors until the next registration time.

Housing Information

We will have both air-conditioned and non-airconditioned rooms available. The non-air-conditioned rooms are on the lower floor of a building that does not have an elevator. Please indicate on the Registration Form which you would prefer. Early registration will help us to meet your request. FSU staff tell us that the mountain location means that nights are usually cool and breezy, the humidity is low, and air-conditioning is not needed. However, you may wish to bring a fan.

All bedrooms have two extra-long twin beds, two desks, two chests of drawers, and two small closets. Bathrooms are a short distance down the hall and are shared. Beds come with pillows and blanket.

Room Occupancy

The university will allow up to two children to sleep on mattresses on the floor in the room of other family members, provided that both beds in the room have been paid for. No more than four people in a room please! You must register with a roommate to have children sleep on the floor.

Linens

These can be rented from the university for $10 per week. A linen set includes two sheets, one pil-lowcase, two towels and a wash cloth. Alternatively, you may bring your own linens (including towels). Dorm beds have extra-long twin mattresses.

Keys

You will be charged $25 if you lose your room key.

Meals

All adults and older children staying on campus - campers and those in the residence halls - will receive meal cards to use in the university dining room. Please keep these cards in a safe place, as you cannot eat without them and there is a $20 charge to replace a meal card. Three meals are included in each day's fees. Meal-days begin with dinner on the day of arrival and continue though lunch the following day. Please check at the BYM Registration Desk or Information Table (located in Lane Center) to find out how to purchase individual meals if you arrive before lunch or want to stay for dinner on your day of departure.

Commuters

Those who prefer to stay off campus may register as commuters. You have the option to receive meal cards for lunch and dinner. If you would like breakfast, make arrangements for that at the BYM Registration Desk.

Comfort & Convenience

Frostburg is cooler. We hope to use less air-conditioning and more natural ventilation. It’s probably wise, however, to bring a sweater for comfort, particularly in the evenings.

Other things you may wish to bring: Desk lamp, alarm clock, fan, bath mat, bathrobe, shower shoes, swim suit, hangers, soap, toiletries caddy, extra pillows, umbrella, Interchange.
