Your registration will NOT be complete without submitting the $70 school registration fee for regular registration. The $70 school registration fee is NOT refundable. The $70 school registration fee is waived for schools that did not attend VAMUN XLIV or VAMUN XLV.
Step Three:
If the registration form is completed prior to the 23rd of August, the delegate fee will be $65/delegate for returning schools and $55/delegate for schools that did not attend VAMUN XLIV or VAMUN XLV, and the school fees will be waived for both. Delegate fees must be paid in full and received by August 24th.
