Policy and Procedure

If you are a State or Local Governmental Agency First Responder from New York more then 50 miles from the SPTC, you maybe eligible to receive lodging at one of the hotels indicated on the List of Approved Hotels.

You are only eligible for lodging if your residence and official work station are more than 50 miles from the training center and you are a State or Local Agency First Responder from New York. You must request lodging at the time of training registration. If approved for lodging, you will receive a letter of approval with further instructions. Once you receive the letter of approval, you must contact your hotel of choice directly by telephone from that list and reserve your own room as an OCT-SPTC registered student. Use of a hotel website or third party booking service (such as hotels.com, Orbitz.com, PriceLine.com,etc) may result in a higher rate which you will be responsible for. A credit card will hold your room and must be provided at check-in to cover incidentals during your stay.

Students requesting accommodations must attend all required course sessions to be eligible for funding. Failure to attend all sessions will result in the applicant being responsible for all expenses incurred. For more information on the Lodging Policy and Procedures, download the SPTC Student Handbook.
