Please read the following before registering:

To keep a mix of project participants from a variety of honors institutions, facilitators prefer no more than 2 students from a single institution per project.

Affiliating yourself with your institution

If you are not the director of your program, or you do not hold a current NCHC Institutional or Professional Membership, and/or have not attended an NCHC program in the past year, you may not be in our software system.

You must sign up as a "Contact" prior to registering for any NCHC program, using the link below. 

Sign up as a Contact

Be sure to select “Contact” when creating a username for our website. If your institution has an Institutional Membership, signing up as a "Contact" will affiliate you with your institution, and you'll receive the member discount. If you sign up for any membership aside from "Contact," you will be asked to pay for that membership fee.

You'll receive an email notification, and THEN you may start registration for the intended institute.

(If your institution is not a member of NCHC, please proceed as a "Guest.")

*Members receive a 50% discount on NCHC Partners in the Parks registration pricing!
