Fees
Fees for on-campus attendees. The workshop fee is $195, which includes all sessions, room and board for two and a half days, all materials, and compact discs with work done by the students as part of the program.
Fees for commuters. While all attendees are encouraged to stay in the dorms to gain the full experience of the workshop, those within driving distance of the school may wish to commute to the sessions (keeping in mind the late-evening hours of some sessions and the converged newsroom operations). The workshop fee for commuters is $150, which includes the same meal plan as for on-campus students, but not the dorm portion.
Fees for early arrivals. Those traveling long distances may wish to come in the evening before the workshop begins. Dorm rooms are available for Wednesday evening (June 16) for an additional $25. Dorm check-in begins at 7 p.m. (Breakfast and lunch on Thursday, June 17, are not included).
