  • Please see our HSMUN Registration Guidefor a detailed explanation on registration.

  • At this time, only teacher representatives from schools are able to register their school delegation for the conference. If you are a high school student interested in attending the conference, consider reaching out to a teacher and see if there is already an existing HSMUN teacher representative at your school.

  • Our Country Tier list (found under the Conference tab) is designed to give a brief overview of each country’s relevance to the issues discussed at this year’s conference, at the discretion of our Secretariat team. Requesting multiple countries within each tier allows our registration team to curate country assignments based on the natural variations of experience levels within your school. Please remember that we attempt to accommodate all requests on a first come, first serve basis; however, there is no guarantee that you will receive a country that you request.

  • Please see our Country Matrix (Under the Conference tab). If a country has a seat in the committee, it will be indicated by a red, yellow, or orange color code. Please note that our Futuristic Security Council and Security Council runs on a double delegation basis, so all SC/FSC countries will have two seats each. On the Historic Simulation Committee, certain countries will have multiple seats. All other seats should be filled by one student per country per committee only.

  • Red - This country has high relevance to the discussed topics within the committee. Delegates placed as “Red” countries are required to complete a position paper prior to the conference.

    Orange - This country has moderate relevance to the discussed topics within the committee.

    Yellow - This country has little relevance to the discussed topics within the committee.

    Black - This country does not have a seat in the respective committee.

  • The delegate fee is $115 per student. For students experiencing financial difficulties, there are opportunities to receive a partial or full fee waiver. Please contact hsmun@ualberta.ca for more information on how to apply for a fee waiver. Fee waivers are dependent on grants we receive, and cannot accommodate everyone. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Payment can be made either through Paypal (on the Jotform) or cheque. Because country assignments run on a first-come, first-serve basis, we recommend Paypal. However, if you are unable to make payment online, you may mail a cheque. Please note that country assignments cannot be set until the cheque is received.

  • At this time, we are only accepting 40 delegates per school. If you have additional students in your school wanting to join, please fill out the waitlist form under the Registration tab above and we will be more than happy to add your additional delegates to the conference waitlist, should additional spots at the conference open up. However, there is no guarantee that students on the waitlist will be able to attend the conference.

  • Your registration will be considered complete and processed by our team when full payment is received, either by Paypal or cheque.

  • For schools who opt to pay via cheque, our team will send an invoice to the teacher representative within one week of Jotform submission. Please email us if you have not yet received an invoice within one business week of your Jotform submission.

  • Schools who pay prior to the payment deadline of November 20, 2025 are eligible to request a 50% refund before and up to November 30, 2025. After this point, no refunds will be considered. However, if a specific delegate is unable to attend, we recommend finding a student substitution for your delegate - please ensure you email hsmun@ualberta.ca with any student substitutions.
