No, we do not allow delegates to attend DMUNC without a teacher advisor, parent, or adult chaperone. We will need the contact information for the chaperone in case of emergencies.

A partial refund of 50% of fees paid will be awarded if withdrawing by April 5th. Exceptions to this rule include if a delegation were to contract Covid-19 prior to the conference and become unable to attend, or if the conference must be moved online due to a surge in Covid cases.
