Before You Travel

Note!

As of May 7, 2025, U.S. travelers 18 and older will need a REAL ID compliant driver's license or identification card, or another acceptable form of identification, to board commercial flights and access certain federal facilities. Non-REAL ID compliant licenses will no longer be accepted by the TSA for these purposes.

First, please visit our Travel & Tourism section for valuable information that can save you time and effort as you plan your journey.

If you are travelling from outside of the country,

  • Remember to check that you have the appropriate travel documents to enter the USA (passport, visa, etc.).
  • Remember to check your cell phone plan to determine if any additional coverage is needed during your trip. If you have a compatible smartphone, you can add a short-trem USA line to your phone using an eSIM. E.g., US Mobile offers affordable, short-term plans that use the Verizon network.

Below is a link to a form that each attendee will need to complete prior to arriving on campus. The form includes CCU Guidelines and check-out information. Completing the form confirms your willingness to follow CCU's Guidelines.

Share Your Story About the Goodness of Science

Throughout the conference, ASA, BioLogos, and AAAS DoSER will be filming short videos of ASA attendees sharing how they have seen science inspire awe, deepen faith, and make a difference in the world. If you’d like to share a story, we’d love for you to participate.

  • Find out more here.
  • Example video here.
  • Sign up for a time slot here.

Conference Etiquette

  • Please bear in mind ASA's approach to disagreement:
    • The ASA is not an advocacy organization. Where there is honest disagreement on an aspect of science, Christian faith, or the relationship between the two, the ASA strives to create a safe environment in which dialogue can flourish and diverse, even contrasting, ideas can be discussed with courtesy and respect.
    • We are committed to providing an open forum where controversies can be discussed without fear of unjust condemnation. Legitimate differences of opinion among Christians who have studied both the Bible and science are freely expressed within the Affiliation in a context of Christian love, humility and concern for truth.
    • For those topics on which there is no consensus and further study and analysis is needed, ASA members are dedicated to promoting ethically and methodologically sound research and dialogue.
  • Please be mindful of cell phone etiquette while attending the conference. Please silence your phones when in sessions and step outside before taking/making any calls.
