Country Assignment Policies

Due to the large number of schools interested in HMUN, we will assign no more than two GA delegations or one GA and one EcoSoc delegation to any single school.  Schools that apply for two EcoSoc delegations may be assigned one GA delegation instead.  Please note that a delegation on the General Assembly may also include seats on the Security Council and Historical Security Council, and a delegation in the Economic and Social Council may also include seats in the Regional Bodies.

Country assignments are determined by a variety of factors, including the number of delegates requested and country preferences.  If you are not assigned one of the countries you requested, it may be to ensure that you receive the number of spots requested.

In some cases, we are not able to assign exactly the number of spots requested.  Schools that receive fewer spots than requested but still wishing to bring more delegates are strongly encouraged to apply for our special application committees, which include most of the Specialized Agencies, the NGO program, and the Press Corps.  Applications for the special committees will be available by Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Special Committee Applications will be due on October 3.

For information on eligibility for our conference, please consult our Conference Policies and Terms. HMUN has no prior arrangements and agreements with companies or organizations to be the sole provider of HMUN country assignments within a country or district. Please direct any inquiries to info@harvardmun.org.
