Registration Information for Award Recipients

• Recipients: Award recipients* are welcomed to register at the member rate. Reducing or waiving registration fees for recipients is not permissible. *Recipients of a “Student Award” will continue to be offered gratis registration. 
• Non-attendee Guests: If an award is presented during a meal hosted at a conference, guests of the recipient (family, etc.,) may attend for a modest fee of $50.00 pp to offset the costs involved.
• Videos: As for all recipients, short acceptance videos are most welcomed regardless of capacity to attend a corresponding event. Such videos are appreciated by membership, are often played during the conference, and will most definitely be utilized throughout the year by the recipient’s organization and UPCEA.

Affiliated Events Policy
The association has gone to great lengths and expense to negotiate and contract for a reduced room rate at conference hotels. That rate is based upon the projected attendance at the meeting. If corporate member and nonmember attendees elect to stay at other hotels, it subjects the association to attrition penalties that can cause significant financial loss to the association. We count on our corporate community to support the association, and one of the ways to do that is to honor our efforts to secure a sufficiently large room block at a reduced rate at a first class hotel/conference venue.   

For these reasons, corporate member and nonmember attendees are prohibited from holding any meetings (briefings, seminars, etc.) within a 25-mile radius, targeting professional, continuing, and online leaders in higher education during the scheduled hours of UPCEA events unless otherwise negotiated and scheduled with and by UPCEA. Any such meeting occurring within 36 hours before or after the UPCEA conference must be coordinated with UPCEA and, space permitting, be held at the conference hotel.  This policy helps ensure that the association’s contracted obligations to the hotel for guest rooms and food and beverage minimums are met, which is essential for the financial health of the association and its members. If UPCEA cannot find space for the corporate member or nonmember attendee’s event at the contracted hotel, we will work to help find alternative space.  In no circumstances, however, is it permissible for a corporate member or nonmember attendee to contract a separate hotel block, either at the conference hotel or elsewhere. 

UPCEA reserves the right to prohibit corporate member and nonmember attendees  who violate this policy from exhibiting or participating at UPCEA events.
