Registration Closes and School Fees Due (Non-Refundable)

Registration may close before this date if the conference reaches its capacity. We strongly recommend that schools register early to ensure participation.

Schools will have the option of paying online immediately with a credit/debit card or mailing a check. All checks must be made out to "UNA-USA", postmarked and received by this date. Late payment will result in an invalid registration form, and your school will not be considered registered to attend the conference or receive country assignments. Paying via credit/debit card is highly recommended. Review our registration page for more payment information.

Also, confirm with your students that they can commit to attending the conference. Notify UNA-USA immediately regarding any changes in the attendance of conference participants.

Country Assignments Posted and Invoices Sent Out

In addition to receiving your country assignments, schools will also receive an invoice regarding payment for the number of students and extra advisors as indicated on your registration form.

If your school is unable to fill the country assignment spot, notify UNA-USA as soon as possible. No refunds will be given out at this point.

During this time, students should be researching and preparing for the conference.

Visit the online Model UN Preparation Guide to read tips on research, public speaking, writing resolutions, caucusing and more.

Advisors should also review the official Global Classrooms Model UN Conference Preparation Information to learn more about the role of the faculty advisor, how to assign countries, procedure for writing resolutions, the flow of debate, and rules of procedure.

Begin processing the necessary forms at your school to request payment of delegate and chaperone fees. Schools will be charged a $50 late fee for all payments received after the due date.

Final drop date for number of delegates

Any changes to the number of delegates coming from each school must be indicated by today. Past this date, all schools are financially responsible for every spot they are registered for. There is a long waiting list to attend the UNA-USA Model UN conference, and in an effort to accomodate as many schools as possible, organizers need to be permitted to fill available spots.

Deadline for All Delegate and Extra Advisor Fees to be Submitted

By this date, all payment must be received from schools. Late payments will result in a $50 penalty fee.

Due to security regulations at the UN, any adults that are not listed as part of the official school delegation and accounted for on the invoice will NOT be given a security badge and will not be permitted to enter the UN. No exceptions will be made to this rule. Therefore, any additional chaperones or parents attending must be accounted and paid for in advance.
