The RMACAC on the Road Bus Tour is a professional development opportunity for high school counselors, independent consultants working with high school students, and graduate students earning a degree in high school counseling to learn more about a few of the outstanding colleges and universities throughout our five-state region.

This year we will be touring the five institutions in two states. Join us as we explore six college/university campuses over four days. You will learn about each institution’s unique programs as we meet faculty, staff, and students. Participants should expect warm weather, full days, and walking tours on each campus.

Cancellation Terms and Conditions

Updated refund dates will be available prior to registration launching.

RMACAC will refund the 2023 Bus Tour registration fees with the following provisions: prior to April 29, a refund of 50% of the registration fee will be issued. April 30 to May 10, a refund of 25% of the registration fee will be issued. May 11 or later, none of the registration fee will be refunded. I understand that if I cannot attend I am subject to the any cancellation fees assessed and that RMACAC will not be held liable for this forfeiture. Should I have to cancel my attendance to this event for any reason I will provide RMACAC written notice as soon as possible. I further understand and acknowledge that the RMACAC 2023 Bus Tour occurs during the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID) pandemic. With this in mind, I understand RMACAC will not issue a refund should the registrant test positive for COVID and be unable to attend. Nor will refunds be issued if an institution restricts travel or a registrant experiences anxiety towards attending in person. Should RMACAC or participating institutions cancel the event, full refunds will be issued.
