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 />
