Conference Registration Information
The early-bird conference registration fee is $100/attendee (this flat fee is for students, faculty, and staff attending); this early-bird fee is in effect until Friday, March 21, and the fee will increase to $125/attendee thereafter. However, each member institution gets one free student registration; therefore, when paying, be sure to pay for one fewer student than is attending.
Each attendee must complete the registration form linked here.
Payments can be made below (again, each member institution gets one free student registration, so the quantity should be one fewer than the total number of attendees):

Virginias Collegiate Honors Council holds two conferences each year. The Fall Conference, usually held in September or early October, is attended by VCHC Executive Officers, faculty and student representatives, and the directors and deans of the Honors Programs and Honors Colleges from across Virginia and West Virginia. The primary purpose of this conference is to plan the spring conference and address any council business.
The Spring Honors Conference, usually held in March or April, is a forum for Honors students from Virginia and West Virginia institutions to present their scholarly work publicly and to network with other Honors students. Participants typically present results from an Honors project, an independent undergraduate research project, or an original work (i.e art, dance, literature, instrumental or vocal music, or poetry) as an individual oral presentation, a group presentation, or within the poster session.
