Frequently Asked Questions
What does a typical day of committee sessions look like?
While the specifics depend on your committee’s agenda, a typical day usually starts with a motion to open debate, setting the agenda, and setting the speakers list. The committee then decides the course of action, whether to move into a moderated caucus, address outstanding directives, or consider new information. If you’re unsure what to do next, it’s highly recommended you check out the conference guidelines/delegate handbook
Where can I find the Rules of Procedure for URMUN26?

Can we register more delegates than the approximate amount we state on the Delegation Registeration form?
For sure! The Delegation Registeration form requests that Faculty Advisors or Head Delegates indicate an approximate number of delegates which will be a part of the delegation, but we understand that the number is tentative. Feel free to register more or less delegates than the approximate number indicated on the Delegation Registeration form!
I’ve never attended a Model UN before. How can I prepare for URMUN26?
To prepare for URMUN26, start by researching your assigned country and its positions on key issues. Familiarize yourself with the rules of procedure and Model UN terminologies. Review background guides provided by the conference and practice writing position papers. We will also be hosting two preparatory sessions prior to conference day.
Do delegates have the option to rank top 3 committee choices as part of their registration?
Yes! On the delegate registration form, you can indicate your top 3 committee choices. The Secretariat will take these preferences into consideration when assigning delegates to committees.
Where is the conference located?
URMUN is hosted and organized by students of the University of Regina and staffed by undergraduate students from universities across Canada. The conference takes place at the University of Regina’s main campus, located in southeast Regina.
