College Board

Every individual or team entering a research project in the Competition must register online prior to the project submission deadline date of October 1, 2009.

• Follow the instructions carefully when registering.
• For team projects, the team leader must register online for each of the other team members.
• You are strongly encouraged to register several weeks prior to the deadline date. This allows you sufficient time to obtain the signatures required on the Confirmation Page.
• Research Reports must have a signed Confirmation Page; otherwise, they are not accepted.
• If you do not have access to the Internet, experience technical difficulties, or have questions, please contact the College Board at (800) 626-9795, ext. 5849.

You need the following to begin your registration. If you are a team leader, you need the information for each team member:

• Name, address, home telephone number, cell phone number, and email address
• Date of birth
• Official high school name, address, telephone number, and principal's name
• Mentor's name, address, telephone number, and email address
• Permission to release information concerning future educational and career opportunities

Confirmation Page

Once the registration is reviewed and submitted, a Confirmation Page immediately appears online. It lists all the registration information submitted by the individual or team leader.

1. Print out the Confirmation Page, review it for accuracy, and use a pen to make any corrections directly on the printed copy. This is your original copy.
2. Submit the original and two copies of the Confirmation Page. Attach one to each of the three original copies of the Research Report.
3. Signatures are required from:
   1. Each student participant
   2. Parent or guardian of each student participant
   3. School administrator of the individual's or team leader's high school.
   For homeschooled students, obtain the signature of the school district official responsible for such programs. If your state does not require district supervision, the parent or guardian responsible for homeschooling must sign the Confirmation Page.
4. If you lose your Confirmation Page, or need to reprint it for any reason, log back into your registration. Select the red "Print Confirmation Page" link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
