        Fees
        • Fee Types

          We offer early, regular, and late registration periods this year. We have priced our participation fees carefully, bearing in mind the need to put both conference attendance and NYC lodging within delegation budgets. Our policy is to charge a $70 fixed price per delegation and a variable registration per delegate.

          Please be aware that to secure a specific price, we require proof of payment, or an administration letter indicating intent, within 2 weeks of registration.
        • Hotel

          To ease the burden of stress on head delegates and advisors, the Secretariat will be posting information regarding different accommodations available throughout the city. We have secured contracts with a number of venues which target a balance of affordability, comfort, and ease of access to city attractions.

          Delegations are of course free to choose any hotel they wish, and we would be eager to work to address any specific issues or concerns.
        • Refund Policy
          We understand that unforeseeable circumstances can arise, and we try to work to reasonably resolve any issues. We offer full refunds until the end of the regular registration period (August 31st), after which point we can only offer 50% of the amount paid. After the close of late registration on September 21st, we will no longer be able to provide refunds.
        • Advisors

          We will not be charging a per-advisor registration fee this year. However, all delegations must submit information regarding their advisor when delegation information is confirmed, so that our staff can print appropriate identification.

          For security reasons, we require all delegates and advisors to have badges. If we do not receive the information beforehand to have advisor badges prepared, we will have to charge a $10 per-badge fee to have additional materials prepared.
        Refund Schedule
        Until Aug 31st -- Full
        Until Sept 21st -- 50%
        Thereafter -- No Refunds

        Payment by Check
        Checks should be made out to Columbia University, and mailed to:

        Yilin Chen
        2438 Lerner Hall
        2920 Broadway
        New York, NY 10027
        Payment
        • Payment Options

          We are actively investigating options for payment, including PayPal, Google Checkout, or through Columbia’s TIC office.

          For the time being, the only payment option available is to issue a check payable to CIRCA. If feasible, scan a copy prior to mailing so that our Secretariat has your proof of payment as soon as possible. Please mail all documents to our treasurer, Yilin “Tim” Chen. His address is at left.
        • Assorted Administrative Forms
          We have worked with numerous delegations in the past on specific tax or other regulatory documentation. Please bring any issues to our attention and we will address them as appropriate.
        • Late Payment Policy

          Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee pricing if we do not receive proof of payment or an administrative letter of intent within 2 weeks of your registration. As a result, if you register in Early but fail to provide documentation well into the Regular period, we would have to charge at the Regular registration rate.

          If you run into issues with administrative or other protocol, we would be eager to work through those with you.

        Assignments
        • Payment Requirement
          Unfortunately, we cannot release position or committee assignments until payment has been received. Again, if you run into administrative or extraordinary circumstances, please let us know.
        • Committee Preferences

          We want to be as clear and upfront as possible about the deadlines, so that head delegates have as much time to be prepared as they can get. Our timeline is indicated at right, in the Timeline on the Registration page, and will be included in confirmation emails upon registration.

          Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide assignments until preferences are received.
        • Delegation Information

          We know that many schools will not know exactly who will attend CMUNNY until well into September, so we will not require specific delegate and advisor information until the 21st. The Aug 31st deadline pertains simply to the committees preferred and the number of delegates attending.

          Please do note that we nonetheless have a deadline for submitting delegation information, because our Secretariat needs time to prepare badges and other personalized materials.
        Assignment Deadlines
        Aug 31st -- Committee Preferences Due
        Sept 2nd -- Assignments Distributed
        Sept 21st -- Delegate Information Deadline

        Other Policies
        • Delegation Cap
          To ensure quality and fairness of all simulations, we will be capping all delegations at 20 delegates.
        • Registration Changes

          Delegations are welcome to change the number of delegates attending the conference until the end of the late registration period, subject to any constraints on conference attendance or delegation size. However, we can only refund reductions in delegation size based on the refund policy above, and will charge additions according to the per-delegate registration cost in the period of the change.

          Additionally, delegations can choose to change the information of particular delegates until the end of the late registration period.However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per delegate for requests following the end of registration, to cover re-printing and other administrative costs.
        • Financial Aid
          We are eager to work with international delegations on payment policies or financial aid appropriate to the expense of international travel.
        • Visa Letters
          For any delegations requiring visa letters, we would be more than willing to provide them. We have opened registration earlier this year to allow more time for international delegations to get paperwork processing completed.
        • ADA Access
          Columbia University strives to be a leader in providing disability services, and CMUNNY welcomes any requests for special assistance or accommodation.
        • Delegation Size
          As in previous years, we consider delegations sized 12 and under to be small delegations; any groups above this cutoff will be large delegations.
