Health & Safety
The spread of communicable diseases, including but not limited to COVID-19, continues to impact our lives. AAC&U is committed to protecting the health and safety of all participants, presenters, and staff at the 2025 TIDES Institute. To that end, AAC&U works to align itself with the requirements set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); national, state, and local public health agencies; and the Lansdowne Resort and Spa. AAC&U retains its right to modify policies and procedures at any time.

AAC&U cannot guarantee that Institute attendees will not be exposed to, or contract, a communicable disease at any of its in-person events. However, please know that we will maintain rigorous preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of spread of communicable diseases while you are at the Institute. And we welcome you, our community of undergraduate STEM reformers, to join us in protecting the Institute space.


Pay Later Policy
AAC&U offers a "Pay Later" payment option that allows registrants to defer payment.

• This option secures a registration slot, but it is not guaranteed until payment is received in full.
• If payment is not received by April 24, 2025, the registration will be cancelled.
• Payment can be made via credit card, check, or ACH (electronic payment).

Cancellation and Refund Policy
Cancellations must be requested on or prior to March 20, 2025 by submitting a written request via email to tides@aacu.org.
