I have registered for the conference, what are the next steps?
Thank you for registering for the conference! Please be reminded that your conference registration is not final until you have also paid in full for your conference participation. If you have not completed payment yet, please access your application through the MyMUN portal and navigate to the “payment” section. Once you have opened the payment tab in your application, you will be able to select the fee(s) you wish to pay for and complete payment conveniently by credit card directly through MyMUN.

After you complete payment (or if you have done so already), you will receive a country and simulation assignment soon. You will receive an email notification from MyMUN once you have received your country assignment.
After receiving your country assignment, you can begin preparing for the simulation. You can find more information about the different simulations and topics further up on this page. Once available, we also strongly recommend you review the SG Report, the Resource Guide, and the Handbook for your simulation and attend our pre-conference training webinars.
Can I request a change in my country assignment?
WIMUN follows a very specific procedure for country assignments taking into account various factors. The countries in each simulation have been specially selected keeping in mind their importance and involvement in the topic being discussed. Every country in a simulation has given a speech about the topic at the UN. This means that the delegates will easily be able to find information on their country assigned. Every country that is chosen is an important actor. Most importantly, part of any Model UN experience is expanding your horizons. WIMUN is about the learning opportunity. If you have been given a country or topic you are unfamiliar with, then this is the perfect time to learn about that country and topic. That is a huge part of MUN in general, this is the time for you to step up to the challenge and become a strong representative of a country you were previously unfamiliar with. This is how Model UN Conference attendees become global citizens, by putting themselves in the shoes of countries, diplomats, and representatives you did not know much about before. Other factors that come into play include: if you have applied as a delegation or as a delegate, how soon you paid your conference fees, and several other factors. As a result, country assignments can not be changed.
Can I get a refund?
As per our terms and conditions all fees paid to WIMUN New York are non-refundable. Therefore, we are unable to provide you with a refund for the conference. We appreciate your understanding.
