NOTE:  Federal attendees and those on federal travel orders - Please note that NOAA regulations prohibit UCAR from providing meals to federal employees, except NSF employees.  Therefore, it is requested that federal employees contribute $20.00 for lunch.  This amount is the lunch portion of the FY2025 GSA per diem for Harrisburg PA and Newark, DE.

Please note that UCAR accepts Visa and MasterCard only; see MEAL PAYMENT INFORMATION (FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES) below.

Also, please note that some US government credit cards and travel credit cards have restrictions placed on them by your agency regarding which merchant ID number categories they may be used for.  Such restrictions may prohibit you from paying online, due to UCAR's merchant ID number category, which is "educational establishment." Please see your administrative officer if you have any questions or encounter problems online.
