Your officer team is working on providing ways to decrease the cost with upcoming fundraisers. You may receive a reimbursement pending on any grants the team submits past the ENGAGE conference.
Sadly not. All members need to communicate with their professors if they miss class that day. UNLV DECA will provide a letter informing your participation at ENGAGE, but it is up to you to communicate and make any arrangements with your professors.
Payment Schedule
UNLV Collegiate DECA will provide as many opportunities to fundraise to decrease the cost of ENGAGE. Additionally, your officer team is exploring other resources. As more funds come in and the more money you raise through our fundraisers, you may receive a reimbursement check if you overpaid in deposits. If you would like to pay in Venmo or check, please contact deca@unlv.edu before the respective due dates. All transactions on Paypal include fees that Paypal takes from each transaction.
