Registration Questions
1. When/how do we register?
Conference registration is completely online.
Go to the conference main page linked from
and click on the Register button. The date registration opens is posted below this button. You must pay the nonrefundable registration fee before your application will be considered.
we request a country assignment?
All country requests must be made through the conference’s online application/registration process.
NMUNoNY: All applications received by the
priority deadline will be given equal consideration. Applications received after this date are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Country Selection Guidelines:
o Select countries that have a maximum size close to the number of delegates you will bring (see the country matrix posted on the conference main page).
o In addition to the maximum listed you may bring 1-2 head delegates that will not participate in committee.
o To request countries on committees of particular interest, consult the country matrix
and the committee topics, posted on the conference main page.
o No more than three (3) selections can be members of the Security Council – denoted by (SC).
o If we are unable to assign any of your top choices, we will try to follow your regional preferences.
NMUNoDC and International: Country assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis. We make assignments in the order we receive complete applications, including payment of the school registration fee.
3. What is the minimum number of delegates required?
You must bring at least one person to cover each committee assignment for your country. At New York you should have two people on each committee. Smaller delegations may find it advantageous to form joint delegations with other schools to represent a country together. Individual delegates are welcome to apply but must do so under their school name. They will be given a shared country with a specific committee assignment.
4. What is the maximum number of delegates that can attend?
The maximum number of delegates that can attend varies depending on the country assignment. The country/committee matrix, which can be found on each conference page, indicates the minimum and maximum number of delegates per country assignment.
There are never more than two delegates, per country assignment, allowed in any committee.
If you assign head delegates, they may attend in addition to the maximum number of delegates if they provide conference support to the delegates but do not participate in any committees. They may fill in for students who get sick or need to be absent due to religious reasons.
5. Are faculty advisors or head delegates required?
Each school must provide a primary contact for the purposes of conference registration and communication.
However, a school is not required to bring a faculty advisor or head delegate.
Schools are invited to bring both if they are able.
Please see the
for more information on the roles of head delegates and faculty advisors. Consult our
for preparation tips.
Cost & Payment Questions
1. How much does the conference cost?
Cost considerations are listed on the 'Costs' links found on the left side of each . Basically, there are two types of fees. The nonrefundable school registration fee, paid when you first register. The other is the delegate/faculty fee which
is paid for each person who will attend the conference. It is paid after you confirm your delegate numbers. Please remember these fees do not cover your hotel, airfare, passports, visas, travel insurance, emergency evacuation insurance, health insurance, cultural tours, meals, souvenirs, etc.
2. Is there a head delegate fee?
Yes, NMUN conferences charge the same amount for a head delegate fee as would be paid for a regular delegate fee.
If you are not currently enrolled as a university student, you are not eligible to attend our conferences.
3. Is there a fee for faculty advisors and guests?
There are faculty advisor fees at NMUNoNY and at NMUNoDC. You will find the amount on the
or the . NMUN’s other conferences generally do not include a faculty fee.
Students are not allowed to register as faculty, even if they are leading the delegation. They must pay the delegate fee and are considered head delegates.
Each school is limited to no more than three guests at NMUNoNY. Guests serve as observers. They cannot be
university/college students or faculty advisors and do not provide any support to a delegation. A guest is typically a school official, spouse/partner of a faculty advisor or a funder who is interested in gaining exposure
as an observer of the conference. Guests are required to uphold the same
as all other conference attendees. Guests at
NMUNoNY do pay a guest fee. The guest badge allows them access to Opening/Closing Ceremony but does not allow them to attend the faculty programs/receptions.
4. How do I submit these payments?

Committee Questions
1. When does time stop for our committee?
Time freezes at 12:01 am the morning before the first committee sessions for all committees except the Security Council simulations.
After this time, delegates will not be able to introduce real world events to committees. The Security Council is an exception because they have an open agenda that allows them to introduce topics in addition to those in the background guide as world conditions warrant.
2. Where do I send position papers?
Instructions are listed on the &Position Paper” pages for each conference.
3. Who can I ask about the committee rules of procedure?
Email the Deputy Secretary-General. Email addresses are posted on the conference Committee Topics & Background Guides page. Optional rules training is provided at most of our conferences. Check the conference program for time and place. The
are found on the Preparation Guides & Resources pages for each conference.
4. What are the NMUN Dress Code Guidelines?
All clothing must adhere to guidelines that portray professionalism and modesty. If a delegate’s attire is deemed inappropriate by NMUN staff, the delegate will be asked to leave the session and return with appropriate attire.
Standard delegate attire for the conference is business jacket, slacks/skirt, dress shirt (with tie for men), and dress shoes. Read our -Dress Code section for more details.
Faculty advisors/team leaders, guests, and volunteer staff serve as role models for delegates. Thus they are required to dress in western business attire while participating in scheduled conference sessions.
