Accommodation: the following link connects to the UD web page listing area hotels that offer special UD rates. Because the Byron Nelson golf tournament will be held the same weekend as the Heidegger Symposium, please make your reservations as soon as possible. Be sure to mention the University of Dallas when you request a room, and try to book a hotel that offers transportation to the college.

Note: When booking rooms at the Wyndham Las Colinas, be sure to ask for "In-house Reservations" (otherwise you'll be sent through the corporate reservation system, which has no record of the UD rates).

Conference Fee: The conference fee, from which we derive most of the income for the Symposium, will be $35.00 ($20.00 for students). Part of the fee will cover the cost of coffee and pastries and a ticket for lunch each day. This is so that participants will have no need to leave the conference site until the end of each day's activities. On Friday evening we will retire together to a nearby restaurant for drinks and dinner. On Saturday evening there will be a banquet in the Haggar Center for all participants.

Checks made out to "Heidegger Symposium" or "NTHS" may be sent to Rod Coltman, Professor of Philosophy, Division of Communications and Humanities, Collin College

Because we may not have computer access at the Haggar Center during the conference, fees will be accepted at registration by check or in cash. The registration form (in Word format) is available here.
