Travel

If students have been notified to be reimbursed for travel by the conference, they will need to get transportation approved ahead of time (this applies to train tickets or other significant travel expenses.)

Travel to the conference is usually paid for by your home department. In cases where your own department, or other sources, cannot cover the cost, there may be travel funds available to support you depending upon your location with respect to Storrs, CT, the location of the event. To receive travel support, you must email uconn_cuwip@uconn.edu with a letter from your department indicating they cannot cover your travel cost and a screenshot of travel itinerary and cost before October 23, 2024 at 5:00pm ET. Travel costs that are not pre-approved will not be reimbursed.

Accommodation and Meals

We aim to make CU*iP accessible to everyone. All meals and accommodation during the conference are provided. You do not need to book or arrange accommodation on Friday or Saturday night.

Students will be assigned two to a room, each room with two double beds, one bed per person. Participants may specify roommate preferences on the registration; otherwise, roommates will be assigned by the organizing committee. Your room assignments will be emailed to you prior to arrival. If you need to make alternative hotel arrangements or have any concerns, please email us at uconn_cuwip@uconn.edu.

Non-undergraduate attendees, and chaperones need to make their own hotel reservations and are responsible for the cost of the accommodation.
