HOTEL BLOCK UPDATE!
Our block includes the evenings of 4/27 (Sat) through 5/1 (Wed). At this time, the evenings of 4/26 (Fri) and 5/2 (Thurs) are full. We are trying to identify overflow lodging space, but for now those attending:
- CEcD Exam Prep – though our block is full, the facility has some rooms available at $329 for that evening. While higher than the rest of your stay, that’s less expensive than if you book at the facility independently.
- OU EDI Institute -- need to attempt to depart on Thurs to avoid an overnight stay, or identify other lodging. IF YOU NEED TO MAKE A FLIGHT THAT REQUIRES YOU TO DEPART THE INSTITUTE SOMEWHAT EARLY, WE HAVE SOME LEEWAY TO ACCOMMODATE YOU. PLEASE CONTACT OU STAFF TO MAKE PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS!
