All students are expected to call Hotel Reservations to confirm lodging for these dates. If you are a commuter and will not require a room while attending NCTC training, please call NCTC Registrar at 304.876.7220 or send email to NCTC_Registrar@fws.gov to request release of your room; remember to provide your full name and the class you plan to attend.

Rooms that have not been confirmed will be released. If no rooms are available when you call, you will need to find a room at a local hotel (and your station will be responsible for costs) or you will have to cancel out of the class.

No pets are allowed on the NCTC grounds; only service animals and animals specifically designated for training and education purposes are authorized on NCTC grounds.

Meal Plans for On-site Partners and Children: 

Partners (spouses, etc) and children staying onsite with a guest are required to share the same guest room and must select from one of two available meal plans.   They may choose to pay a la carte at the dining facility cash register, or they can select a discounted pre-paid meal plan upon check-in.   The pre-paid meal plan costs:

  • Adults and teenagers pay 75% of current per diem meal rates at time of stay
  • Children (age 2-12) pay 50% of current per diem meal rates at time of stay
  • Infants (less than 2 years old) are not charged

Facility Sustainability Fee (Effective 1 Oct 2012):

Effective October 1, 2012 NCTC's overnight accommodation charge will increase by $15.00 per night. While the per diem covers guest food and lodging, it does not include many costs for green improvements and state-of-the-art support such as campus-wide wireless. This additional fee is necessary to continue operating an effective training and conferencing facility in a fiscally responsible manner.

This fee has been pre-paid for all FWS employees and will not be charged to them on an individual basis. For all non-FWS guests, this fee will be billed along with room charges at the time of check-out. Non-FWS Federal employees should identify the Facility Sustainability Fee on a GSA travel voucher as a non-mileage, miscellaneous fee.

Please contact the NCTC Registrar at 304-876-7220 for questions regarding rates and assessments.
