Prices and Other Details
for the 17th Summer Texas Toot - 2015

June 7-13, 2015

Housing

Toot participants will be housed in Concordia's Residence Hall dorm (location H on the campus map...) The accommodations are 2-person suites with private bath, and furnished with a small-size refrigerator and a microwave.

NOTE a change!
Beginning this year, Concordia is no longer providing linens. Texas Toot has purchased a limited number of linen sets (sheets, towels, blanket, pillow) that will be available for rent ($25 for the week), but participants who are able are encouraged to bring your own linens. The beds are extra-long twin (XL twin). If you prefer not to stay in a dorm, there are numerous hotels in the surrounding area.

Meals

Dining at this Summer's Toot will be provided differently, as the Concordia dining facility is undergoing a complete overhaul (it will be back better than ever in 2016!).

Fees
Deadline for registration (if housing and/or meals are required) is May 21, 2015 — Do-It-Now early registration ends May 1!
Tuition $425 per person "Do-It-Now" tuition (if registration and deposit are received by May 1) OR
$465 per person if registration and deposit are received after May 1

Bring-a-Friend tuition discount: Invite someone new to come to the Summer Toot! Once he/she registers, you are entitled to a 20% discount on your tuition (10% if this person has attended a Toot before, but has been absent for 5 or more years.)

 
Conference Fee This year, there will be a $51 administrative and facility use fee (not subject to discount) for all participants, whether staying on- or off-campus. This fee will be added in as you make your registration payment; there is no need to write a separate check to Concordia.

  • Breakfasts (expanded continental + coffee, served in the dorm): $35

  • Suppers (casual; sandwiches or similar): $60
(Last year's prices for Concordia meals were $215 for full meals, $180 for commuter meals.)

There are also many restaurants within 2 miles of the campus, which may be a viable option for supper. We will help by providing sign-up sheets for drivers and passengers, to enable carpooling to specific restaurants.

Transportation

The Austin Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is approximately 35 minutes by car from the Concordia University campus. Ground transportation from/to the airport is available via shuttle service or taxi.

The Toot staff is available to help you solve transportation quandaries. If you will be flying in, please click here to send us email (or address your own email to transport@toot.org) with your flight times so we can help coordinate those arrangements more efficiently.

If you are driving, see the page of driving directions to Concordia on their own Web site. If you need other assistance with transportation information, please contact us.

There will be a few rooms available for those who need to arrive a day early, or to stay an extra night (around $39 per person for room only). Try to book return flights around mid- to late afternoon on Saturday.


You may register online, but we must receive your deposit check for $100 by postal mail to complete your registration. Deposit is refundable until May 21, 2015.

If you wish to receive a paper registration form, email info@toot.org with that request. Remember to include your name and snail-mail address!
