Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why Do Trips Have Deadline Dates?

Deadline dates for PASC trips signify the last day the Center has to solidify number of participants when working with an outside vendor. These dates are often determined by cutoff dates for purchasing tickets, making reservations, and such. They are usually one week prior to the trip, though they may be farther out if circumstances require it.
