Many students participated with us at IVECCS 2004 in San Diego last year and we welcome your involvement again this year! The VECCS Board is eager to have you and has confirmed the following arrangements:

• VECCS will provide Complementary General Registration for those students who work at least 2 half-days as Room Monitors, or Operations Assistants.

  • Member of VECCS and SVECCS
  • Member of SVECCS only
  • Non-member of either, but volunteering
  • We will attempt to utilize students from every school from which SVECCS students apply.

  Note that upon receiving your form and being accepted as a volunteer, we will complete your Registration and you will be sent a Registration Confirmation # which will allow you to add Limited Enrollment Sessions (for the required fee) to your Registration.
  If you volunteer, DO NOT complete another Online Registration.
• You will be notified of your assignment in early July.
• Should you not complete your agreed upon work schedule, you will be billed for Student Onsite Registration fees.
