## Reservations

A room at the National Emergency Training Center (NETC) is reserved for you when you are accepted for a course. **All rooms are smoke-free.** If you do not need a room, please email us.

In some situations, we will accept you for a course or event with the understanding that you need to find your own accommodations. We will tell you this before you apply or provide information in your acceptance letter.

Room assignments are random. We'll do our best to make sure you have a single room, but you may need to room with another student if the student count is high. Please don't call us to request a single room.

If you have back-to-back courses, you can stay in the same room.

Foreign students: You must pay for your travel, per diem costs and lodging. Please pay for your lodging ($40 USD per night) when you arrive. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express.

## Telephone contact information for family and friends

NETC switchboard: 301-447-1000 (We can't accept personal calls to our 800 number.)

Your room: 301-447-####. Ask for your room extension when you check-in. You can't accept collect calls. Place outgoing calls from your room using a calling card or by collect/third-party billing. Expenses related to room phone use are your responsibility.

Emergency messages: 301-447-1048We will deliver emergency messages to you immediately if you are on campus. If you need to return home due to an emergency, please check out with the NETC Housing/Transportation Office in Building C before you leave.

You may have to provide written documentation on a physician's letterhead describing the accommodation. We will notify your course manager if you require a classroom accommodation.

Most NETC buildings have elevators and access ramps. A limited number of dorm rooms are equipped with roll-in showers and shower handrails. The following items are also available to you:

Animals are not allowed in dorm rooms, except for service animals. Please notify the NETC Admissions Office at least 2 weeks in advance if you are bringing a service animal. The service animal must always be with you. It can't be left in your dorm room unattended.

## Staying off campus

You may choose to stay off campus, but it is at your expense. In addition, you are required to purchase a snack break ticket from the NETC Cafeteria.
