South Carolina Educational Opportunity Programs Week 4 GREENVILLE, SPARTANBURG, CHEROKEE, & UNION Monday, September 19 – Friday, September 23 1 Carolinas Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (Code of Ethics) The purpose of an Ed-Op Program is to provide a chance for high school students, particularly juniors and seniors, to be exposed to many different educational opportunities and to explore specific interests. 1. It is the responsibility of each college or university to inform any person (who represents that institution) of the CACRAO Code of Ethics which will be in effect at all CACRAO sponsored Educational Opportunity Programs. Each institutional representative must respect the rights of other institutions. ● One official representative is considered adequate at an Educational Opportunity Program. If more than one representative is needed, those present must confine all activities to the assigned space. ● Group presentations are not condoned in arena settings where a number of institutions share common quarters. Such presentations discourage students from exploring all of their options. ● The use of overly conspicuous exhibits as promotional devices are prohibited, i.e. (videos, large pictorial displays, balloons…) ● Distributed educational information must be limited to printed materials which are accurate and tasteful. Handouts such as key chains, balloons, pens, pennants, and foods are not acceptable. ● Applications for admissions may be distributed, but not completed at Educational Opportunity Programs. ● CACRAO members should display the highest levels of decorum and avoid any unprofessional behavior that would disgrace the CACRAO organization or that would infringe upon the rights of their fellow members. 2. School counselors are encouraged to limit program invitations to CACRAO members and other degree-granting institutions. In the event that counselors choose to invite other organizations; those participants must adhere to the Code of Ethics set forth by CACRAO. 3. CACRAO member institutions may host Educational Opportunity Programs only with prior approval from either the NC or SC Scheduling Committees. In the event that the Scheduling Committee feels it is necessary to hold a program at a member institution, the following policies will apply: ● The Host Institution will participate on an equal standing with all other institutions, to include alphabetical order and no special incentives for students. ● Refreshments (if provided) should be for college representative only. 4. Institutions consistently out of compliance with the attendance policies as outlined in the Ed-Op schedule will be reported to the Chairman of the Ethics Committee of CACRAO by using the formal or informal complaint form. This includes unprofessional behavior (i.e. not showing up, arriving late and/or not remaining for the entire program). 2 Hotel Information for Week 4 Greenville (September 19 – September 20) Recommended Greenville Hotels: Check In: Sunday, September 18, 2015 Check Out: Tuesday, September 20, 2015 Hotels Reservation # Room Rate Distance Booking Code to TDCC Crowne Plaza 877-834-3613 $119 4.1 miles Online Booking Group Code: GRF 851 Congaree Rd, Greenville, SC 29607 (Rate good through space availability ) Hyatt Place Greenville Haywood 864-232-3000 $114 2.1 miles Online Booking Group Code: G-GCCF 40 W Orchard Park Dr., Greenville, SC 29615 (Book by September 19) Hampton Inn Greenville/I-385 Haywood Mall 864-516-2400 $90 2.1 miles Online Booking Group Code: GCC 255 Congaree Rd., Greenville, SC 29607 (Book by August 18) Wingate by Wyndham- Haywood Mall 864-558-9016 $85 1.9 miles Use Group Name: Greenville County College Fair (Baymont Inn & Suites) (Book by September 4) 246 Congaree Rd., Greenville, SC 29607 Local area restaurants: $ Panera Bread $$ Copper River $$$ Cheesecake Factory 708 Haywood Rd 775 Haywood Rd 700 Haywood Rd Greenville SC 29607 Greenville SC 29607 Greenville, SC 29607 $ Chipotle Mexican Grill $$ Brixx Pizza $$$ Carrabba’s Italian Grill 4 Market Point Dr 1125 Woodruff Rd 1022 Woodruff Rd Greenville SC 29607 Greenville SC 29607 Greenville, SC 29607 $- $5.00-$10.00 $$- $10.00-$15.00 $$$- $15.00-$20.00 3 Monday, September 19, 2016 Greenville County Consolidated Fair Directions: From Baymont Inn & Suites Hotel 9:00am -11:30am TD Convention Center TD Convention Center Hall A One Exposition Center Dr. Turn right onto Woods Lake Rd Greenville, SC 29607 Turn right onto Lowndes Hill Rd Cost is for both days: At light, turn left onto Pleasantburg Dr $200 (CACRAO) Approximately 1,500+ students from 7 of the Merge into the far left lane and go less $210 (NON-CACRAO) following Greenville County high schools will than 1 mile be bused to the event- Berea High School, Blue Turn left onto Eisenhower Dr. before the Booth Size: 10’x10’ Ridge High School, Carolina Academy High Krispy Kreme Table Size: 2’x6’x30”h draped School, Eastside High School, Greer High School, Greenville Senior High School Travel Time: 3-5 minutes depending on traffic Your fee is being used to pay for the event Academy, Hillcrest High School, J.L.
