IMPORTANT: Please do not book travel until enrollment is confirmed.

Housing: at a local Hotel. See details and hotel information.

Air travel: Those making plane reservations should choose departure times after 7 p.m. on the last day of the Institute. See Traveling to Laredo for more information.

Clothing and climate: Dress for class sessions should be casual and comfortable. Because summer days in Laredo are hot and humid, light, breathable clothing is recommended. However, all buildings at Texas A&M International University are air-conditioned—and some can feel quite cold—so please be sure to pack a sweater or light cover-up.

Clothing for science teachers: Biology and chemistry teachers must follow Texas A&M International University's lab safety rules by wearing closed-toe shoes (no sandals), long pants or skirts, laboratory coats and goggles during all lab activities. Please bring a lab coat and goggles with you to the Institute. Anyone not following these rules will be asked to leave the lab and hours will be deducted from their certificate, so please plan accordingly.
