We aim to provide the room block at a discounted rate whenever possible, to ensure it falls within the government per diem guidelines required by many of our students.

Please utilize the dedicated reservation link on the event page or follow the instructions provided to reserve a room in our KU room block. Those who make their reservations after the deadline or after all available rooms in the block are filled may not eligible to receive the Aerospace Short Course discount or associated amenities.

However, fulfillment of dietary requests is dependent on the accommodations provided by the venue.
