    Team Registration

    Teams need to register during the month of November. Students and/or teachers can register and manage their team, if all team members are from the same school. Teams comprised of students from multiple schools need to email Consult with who is on the team together.

    Before registering a team, all of the team members should have registered individually (above). Up to five students can be on a team.
     
    Teams should designate a team captain that will be the team contact with whom Consult will interact. The team captain should make sure that deadlines are met, Monday Morning Memos are read, and any problems (such as scheduling conflicts) be brought to the attention of Consult.

     

    Update your previous registration information if necessary.
