Payment
The tuition for the ESI is $450 per participant. Tuition covers all program fees, materials and lunch each full day. Agencies are responsible for all lodging expenses, parking and other incidental expenses incurred by participants. Tuition may be paid by check, credit card, Electronic Data Interchange, Electronic Funds Transfer or Internal Department Transfer (VCU departments only). Electronic payments must contain the account number, the FIN number and the invoice number. Be sure to send a copy of the invoice with your payment. The link in your acceptance e-mail provides access to online payment and the ability to print and e-mail your invoice. Please send a copy of the invoice with your payment to the address on the invoice.
Room reservations
See list of area hotels that are convenient to VCU’s Siegel Center and honor the state per diem. We cannot guarantee that the rate will be honored if reservations are requested close to the session, so make your reservations early. When calling the hotel, be prepared to give a credit card number to guarantee your reservation. If you need to make any changes in your originally scheduled arrival and/or departure dates, most hotels require that you notify them 72 hours prior to your arrival to avoid additional charges.
