SECTION ONE: REGISTRATION
Question 0
We are open to individual registrations, but we require that individual delegates not affiliated with a school fill out a short application before we approve their spot at PEAMUN XII. We do this mostly to protect our own delegates, at the end of the day. If you are a student looking to apply to PEAMUN, email smcnulty@exeter.edu from your school email if you have one, and we will discuss next steps together.
Please note that we would prefer wherever possible that an adult affiliated with your school fill in application and payment materials. The provision for individual registrations is primarily designed to provide an opportunity to participate for those students who have no active Model UN team at their school.

What will the registration process look like?
Ah, registration! Here's how that will work. Firstly, we should note that every step of this process should be completed by an adult affiliated with your school, be this an adviser, sponsor, teacher or administrator. The process, more or less, will consist of the following steps:
- You, dearest adult affiliated with your school, fill out the preliminary registration form (see our "Register" page), indicating the number of delegates you plan to bring.
- As soon as we receive this form, a member of the Secretariat will personally reach out to you to field any questions, provide more information, and provide payment details. We do this mostly to confirm your identity on our end, and to give you the opportunity to interact with us.
- Once we are able, we will send the delegation your committee assignments, which you may distribute as you please. Final rosters are due to the Secretariat on October 30.
I have paid, but not all my kids are able to attend. May I get a refund?
Because of the limited registration space and comparatively low registration fee, we are unable to offer refunds at this time. We strongly encourage schools to bring all the students they register for. Those delegations unable to afford registration fees should request a fee waiver by emailing PEAMUN@exeter.edu
We would urge all schools to practice non sibi ("not for oneself", Exeter's school motto) behavior. Register for the seats that you will fill, and if you can, pay the registration fee for your seats. And of course be in contact with us if there is any way we can help you along.

SECTION TWO: Conference DETAILS
Over what platform will the conference be held?
PEAMUN XIV will be held in-person, on Exeter's campus in New Hampshire. Between different Academy facilities, we will host our 9 committees, and provide lunch.
When will background guides and committee assignments be released?
Background guides will be released in early October. They are all written and edited by our really passionate students (many of whom are very busy!), and they are dedicated to getting out committee information with enough time for prep. We will offer committee assignments weekly as long as registration is open. Committee assignments are final.
Am I required to write position papers?
At PEAMUN XIV, we believe that position papers are crucial in encouraging delegates to have a thorough understanding of their delegation and the topic. In addition, they will help you think of solutions and possible talking points. We look forward to reading your one-page, single spaced, 12pt Times New Roman papers with proper Chicago footnotes. Please submit papers to your committee's dais by October 25 (two weeks before our conference). Schools that register later will receive extentions.
Feedback from the dais will be available upon request, though timing of feedback is at the chair’s discretion due to the potential for volume of requests exceeding the dais’s capacity.

What are the chaperoning requirements like for advisers?
A lot of the details to this question will depend on the number of schools who register. At the very least, we require one chaperone per delegation to help corral the delegates. A chaperone room with refreshments will be provided, and we encourage you to watch your delegates in action!
As always, be sure to contact us if you have more questions!
