Payment Information
Cost: All participants pay $1,995. Payments may be made by MasterCard or Visa or by submitting a check or money order made out to Old Dominion University. Participants purchase their own roundtrip airfare from their home to Rome's Fiumicino Airport.
Payment Schedule: $250 deposit upon application; $872 due on June 15, 2010; and final payment of $873 due on September 15, 2010. (Note: If a single room is requested, the final payment will be $1,173.)
Refunds: Deposits are fully refundable until April 14, 2010, are 50% refundable from April 15, 2010 through June 14, 2010, and are not refundable after June 14, 2010.
Seeing Italy Before or After the Institute: Since round trip airfare from the United States to Rome's Fiumicino Airport is individually arranged, participants may travel to Italy early and join the group in Rome or Reggello. Participants may also stay over after the institute ends if they wish to further explore Rome or other parts of Italy or Europe. For those who may be traveling to Europe for the first time, stays after rather than before the conference are recommended because it will be easier to travel once participants have become accustomed to international travel and the Italian culture.
