Registration

Please note that NAIMUN LXII has reached full capacity. Register below to be placed on our waitlist!

Registration Process

This year, we are excited to launch our new custom-made NAIMUN Registration System! For the past year, the executives of NAIMUN LX, Rachel Klein and Cate Howell, have been working tirelessly in collaboration with HoyaDevelopers, a student-led coding organization at Georgetown, to design and build custom registration software, tailored directly to our conference and our delegations’ needs.

The most exciting innovation in this new process is the Delegation Portal. With login credentials faculty advisors create while registering, primary advisors will gain access to a fully customized, one-stop-shop Delegation Portal. Delegates and co-advisors will join the delegation via a "Join Code," the delegation’s roster will populate with assignments when they are released, delegates can submit their position papers, and the delegation’s payment options, invoice, and status will automatically update.

For a step-by-step walkthrough of the registration process, please reference our NAIMUN Registration Guide.

If you have any further questions, please contact our Director of Registration, Mark Manaois, at naimun@modelun.org.

Registration Policies

Independent Delegations

NAIMUN warmly welcomes independent delegations to our conference and encourages them to register. Independent delegations have a minimum size of one and must be accompanied by an advisor (who can be a parent, faculty advisor, teacher, or other trusted guardian). Independent delegations can register for NAIMUN through the NAIMUN Registration System. Please note that all independent delegations should register as a “Delegation.”

NAIMUNAid Applicants

NAIMUNAid sponsors dedicated students who would otherwise not have the financial means to attend our conference. We understand that registering for NAIMUN entails a substantial financial commitment and are proud to continue our NAIMUNAid program and help as many schools as possible attend NAIMUN. More information about financial aid can be found on the NAIMUNAid page.

NAIMUNAid applicants should register at any point prior to the NAIMUNAid application deadline of October 4, 2024. Once you register, please email our Director of Registration, Mark Manaois, naimun@modelun.org, and indicate that you will apply for financial aid so that you are not expected to pay your delegation’s fees until after you receive your NAIMUNAid decision.

Delegate Age Parameters

Please note that NAIMUN is a high school conference. Delegates must be high school students between the ages of 13 and 19 at the time of NAIMUN LXII, which begins on February 13, 2025.

Payment Timeline

NAIMUN LXII is enforcing a 1 Advisor: 25 Delegates Ratio, as well as capping Delegations at 40 Delegates.

Please note that under the 1 Advisor:25 Delegates ratio, one advisor can only supervise a maximum of 25 delegates at a time. Delegations are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. In the event that NAIMUN hits its full conference capacity, applications will begin to be pushed to a waitlist. For this reason, we ask that you register as soon as possible in order to secure your spot.
