General Information
In This Section:
Bookstore
The University Bookstore, located on the lower level of the Lane Center, carries a full line of University-related articles such as T-shirts, mugs, sweatshirts, etc. In addition, a diversity of items, including greeting cards, sundry items, magazines, stationery, etc., is offered. The Bookstore is open 8:30 a.m.-4:20 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Check Cashing
The University does not cash personal checks. It is also difficult to cash a check in the community of Frostburg. Therefore, it is suggested that delegates bring cash or traveler's checks.
Check In & Out
During the summer, the University maintains a fully trained conference staff to assist in the handling of front desk operations, set ups and general housekeeping. Staff will be available from 7:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m. daily to provide a wide range of services including check-in/check-out.
A centralized registration desk is located on the first floor of Westminster Hall. Whenever possible, this will be the location of all check-in/check-out/information needs of your group. Should your group be housed in a residence hall that is not easily accessible to Westminster Hall, a satellite registration area will be set up for your convenience.
Please make arrangements to have your check-in at a certain time. For example, have your check-in from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., rather than "all day". Experience has shown that a designated check-in period allows for more efficient use of both your conference time and the University's summer conference staff. This is also true of your check-out period. If check-out is after 2:00 p.m., you will be charged a full day for room.
University conference staff will be glad to work with you in distribution of your literature, schedules, etc. In addition, floor plans of the residence halls can be provided to you in advance should you wish to make preliminary room assignments based on age, sex, sub-groups, etc. However, the University reserves exclusive jurisdiction over the distribution of keys.
The Conference Desk can be reached at 301-687-4087. Please feel free to leave this number for family and friends for emergency purposes (not for social calls).

It is suggested that you bring a first-aid kit for your group.
Mail Service
A letter drop with daily pickup is located near the Chesapeake Dining Hall. It is suggested that delegates bring their own stationery and stamps. However, stamps can be obtained from the stamp machine located on the second floor of the Hitchins Administration Building. Mail delivery for delegates should be addressed care of the conference being attended and to the attention of the Office of Conferences and Events, FSU; individual mail can be picked up at the Conference Desk.
