Travel and Accommodations
The on-campus portion of the program will be held at the Manhattan, Kansas, campus. This time spent on campus is invaluable in that it breaks the isolation that can be commonly found with online learning programs and creates many networking opportunities for students. These sessions provide valuable, hands-on training and mentoring with nationally renowned experts. By the end of your week, you will have made connections and friendships that will last a lifetime.

On-Campus Costs
There are additional expenses associated with the on-campus component of the program, including travel, parking, food, lodging, etc. You are responsible for coordinating your own travel to and from Manhattan for the summer session, and for reserving your own lodging for your stay. Information about parking and options for lodging are listed below.

Parking
To park on campus, you will need to purchase a temporary parking permit. A permit may be purchased at Parking Services or at the information booth on 17th Street near the K-State Student Union parking lot.
