AU's intercollegiate soccer field is closed during the summers for turf restoration. For joggers who do not wish to use the outdoor track, AU is located in a heavy traffic area, but outstanding running trails and other running routes can be found near campus. This letter confirms the dates of the group's visit, number of participants, room rates and other basic information. Once the contract is signed, conferences may not decrease the amount of their room commitment by more than 10 percent. Any increases over the contracted amount will be accommodated on a space available basis only.
Conferences pay either the contracted amount or the amount actually utilized, whichever is higher.
Residential Life and Housing Services will invoice all conferences following their visit. Invoices will include charges for housing, meeting space, audio-visual, all food services, lost keys, room damages, and special meeting room setups, including phone jacks, computer lines, special AV equipment and equipment rental. The University must be named as an additional insured on the policy. There is a District of Columbia hotel tax of 14.5 percent levied on all room charges. Groups holding a Washington, D.C. Government tax-exempt certificate are exempt from the hotel tax, but must submit the exempt certificate with their contract.
