Transportation - It is essential that we know how many students will require the use of the COMET vans, so that we can make the necessary arrangements before you arrive.
Van Drivers - COMET has minivans available for the students. During this class we need people who are willing to drive. The drivers' responsibility is primarily to shuttle students to and from class each day. However, the vans are available for use locally for such things as dinner and short outings. All use of the vans after class is at the discretion of the drivers who have committed to driving to and from class each day. If you are willing to volunteer to drive, please fax a legible copy of your current drivers license and a signed copy of the Van Usage Policy to us at (303) 497-8491.
First Day Information - There will be a meeting on Sunday, 18 October. Details will be forth coming.
Registration Fee - There is a $40 (USD) registration fee for this course. Please be prepared to pay this registration fee with cash or a check made out to UCAR . This fee covers the cost of miscellaneous items provided by COMET. A receipt will be provided that you can submit on your travel voucher.
Cancellation - If you find that you will not be able to attend the course as scheduled, please notify us as soon as possible.

If we can be of further assistance, let us know. We look forward to meeting all of you.
