REGISTRATION will be in the Student Union (see map). The registration desk will be open at 8:15 am. A $6.00 fee per delegate is due at registration (if paying by check, make it payable to International Relations Association). Identification tags will be issued. Country placards will be distributed at this time.

PARKING: Parking for school vehicles with school identification will be permitted along River Street with no window tag needed. If you have something other than a school vehicle you will need to park in the Parking Deck on River Street. A map of campus is located at http://www.web.appstate.edu/asuinfo/maps/on_campus_directions/diagram_map.htm

ORIENTATION will be held at the beginning of the first committee session (9:00 am) to review the rules of procedure and to answer any questions about the conference.

THE DRESS CODE calls for attire such as dress pants or shirts and button-up shirts or blouses. Suit and ties are not required but may be worn.

DRAFT RESOLUTIONS may be brought to the conference. However, the UN works by compromise and consensus; an accurate simulation requires that delegations work together to create joint resolutions. After amending and revising to craft a resolution acceptable to the greatest number of delegations, please submit the proposed resolution to the dais for review and copying.
