lodging<br />

All lodging rooms are nonsmoking and are randomly<br />

assigned prior to your arrival. Because of the random<br />

assignments of rooms, classmates may not be lodged<br />

together. If the student count exceeds the number<br />

of single rooms available, students may have to<br />

share a room. Please do not call to request a single<br />

room. However, if you have a disability and require<br />

special accommodations, please note those on your<br />

application. If you are required to pay <strong>for</strong> your lodging,<br />

you may do so by cash, personal check, traveler’s<br />

check, or credit card (MasterCard, Visa, American<br />

Express, or Discover).<br />

If you are a non-DHS Federal employee, your Travel<br />

Authorization (TA) should state that “Housing will<br />

be provided to the traveler at NETC” (currently $40<br />

per night), payable upon arrival at NETC. If NETC<br />

housing is not available, a “Certificate of Non-<br />

Availability” will be issued by NETC. If you are a<br />

Federal employee participating in a course at NETC,<br />

a dormitory room will be reserved <strong>for</strong> you. If you do<br />

not require lodging, you must notify the Housing<br />

Office in writing at NETC-Housing@dhs.gov. You<br />

must make this notification upon receipt of your<br />

acceptance letter. Failure to notify the Housing Office<br />

that lodging is not needed will result in your being<br />

charged <strong>for</strong> the room <strong>for</strong> the length of the course.<br />

If you are a <strong>for</strong>eign student, private sector representative,<br />

or contractor to a State or local government entity,<br />

you are responsible <strong>for</strong> your own travel and per diem<br />

costs, and lodging (currently $40 per night), payable<br />

upon arrival at NETC. NETC accepts credit card<br />

payment (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American<br />

Express) <strong>for</strong> lodging.<br />

If you are a DHS employee (including Disaster Reservists),<br />

you must present a copy of your TA at registration, and<br />

you should read the FEMA instructions, policies, and<br />

comptroller-grams dealing with travel to NETC. Your<br />

TA should state that “Housing will be provided to the<br />

traveler at NETC at no cost.” If lodging on the NETC<br />

campus is not needed, you must notify the Housing<br />

Office in writing at NETC-Housing@dhs.gov. Failure<br />

15<br />

to notify the Housing Office that lodging is not needed<br />

will result in you being charged <strong>for</strong> the room <strong>for</strong> the<br />

length of the course.<br />

food service<br />

There is an on-campus dining facility. The meal<br />

charge will be identified in all acceptance letters and<br />

will include costs <strong>for</strong> three meals per day beginning<br />

with dinner on the day preceding the course start<br />

date and extending through lunch on the last day<br />

of the course, plus morning and afternoon breaks.<br />

Meals may be paid <strong>for</strong> with cash, traveler’s check,<br />

purchase order, credit card (MasterCard or Visa), or<br />

by advance payment. There are no refunds <strong>for</strong> meals<br />

missed. All participants residing on campus must<br />

purchase a meal ticket. Any participant who does<br />

not purchase a meal ticket must move off campus <strong>for</strong><br />

the duration of the course at his/her own personal<br />

expense. Participants staying off campus must pay <strong>for</strong><br />

morning and afternoon breaks.<br />

security<br />

Due to increased security precautions, students should<br />

bring two photo IDs to campus. PLEASE HAVE THEM<br />

WITHYOU, NOT INYOUR BAGGAGE! If you do not<br />

have the photo IDs, you will not be permitted on<br />

campus. Security checks will delay your registration<br />

at the NETC.<br />

If you are a student from a <strong>for</strong>eign country, please be<br />

prepared to show your passport or visa at registration.<br />

firearms<br />

Firearms are prohibited on campus! Due to<br />

heightened security requirements, please understand<br />

that security and law en<strong>for</strong>cement personnel may<br />

search you, your vehicle, or your luggage. Maryland<br />

law is very narrow in its definition of Law En<strong>for</strong>cement<br />

Officers who may carry firearms. For your own<br />

protection, and to expedite your processing into the<br />

NETC, do not bring weapons of any kind to campus.<br />

Weapons include knives with blades longer than 3<br />

inches, machete, bow and arrows, ammunition,<br />

rifles, shotguns, pistols, etc. Sworn/Commissioned<br />
