Any form of sexual harassment and discrimination will not be tolerated, and UMBC Model UN reserves the right to expel any delegate without compensation if it is brought to the Dias. Examples of what constitutes as sexual harassment can be found here.

Pre-written resolutions will not be tolerated, and if brought attention to the Dias, the delegate will be ineligible for awards.

Position papers are not required, but are strongly suggested, as they will help build the understanding and research of your students country. If your school decides to bring position papers, they are due to the Dias at the beginning of the first session.
