Conference Policies and Procedures

Group Registration

The NRHC is happy to provide a discount for large group registrations. Every 10th and 20th registration is free (students and faculty included). To receive the discount, all registrations must be completed at the same time by selecting your registrations below. Any Minority Scholarships awarded will not count against the volume discount – recipients of the Minority Scholarship and their honors directors will be notified of the award by Friday, February 16th, to facilitate registration by the early bird deadline of March 1.

 

Cancellation Policy

Registrations cancelled within 24 hours will receive a full refund, less a $20 fee per registration. Send your immediate cancellation request to northeastregionalhonorscouncil@gmail.com with registration ID number(s).

 

After this 24-hour period, all registrations are final. Therefore, members institutions are encouraged to find replacement attendees for registrants.
