How to Register:  Teachers and advisers should complete this online registration process and mail payment to be received by Oct. 12. Indicate session choices for each student. While the tentative list of session topics includes broad interests, workshop topics may be more specific. Students will be registered in the order in which registration materials are received. We will make every effort to accommodate preferences, but workshop sessions will fill up. We reserve the right to assign students to other workshop sessions if their requested ones are full. (Please note: Registration is not confirmed until payment is received.) Registration limit: 250 participants. Please be aware that registrations received on or near the deadline date may not be accepted, if workshop capacity has been reached. Notify NCSMA of accommodation requests 14 days prior to the workshop. Parking passes for buses are free. Each school is allowed up to four free car passes. (Schools bringing more than four cars must pay parking deck fees for each additional car.)

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO TEACHERS: This online UNC event registration process requires you to submit individual email addresses for your students as you register them for their sessions. This system will also send each student automatic emails with event confirmation. Disregard these individual invoices and make certain to send payment as one school check. 

When you begin the registration process, make certain you click on "I do not have a UNC ONYEN."
