CONFERENCE POLICIES
General Policies
The Conference Co-Directors and the President of the American Mock World Health Organization are the only staff members empowered to grant exceptions to any Conference policies or other general AMWHO 2024 practices. AMWHO 2024 is not liable for any erroneous statements made by other staff members regarding exceptions to fees or policies. Delegate behavior should reflect you and your academic institution at all times. Delegates are expected to behave in a manner that is respectful of other delegates, staff, residents, and property. Delegates are liable for any damages to conference and premise property. Delegates are expected to behave in a manner that respects their person and their peers. Any and all injuries should be reported to the Conference Co-Directors immediately. Should any medical emergency arise, please first call 911.
Alcohol and Drug Policy
Only those delegates age 21 or older may consume alcohol in North Carolina. North Carolina state laws also stipulates that alcohol cannot be purchased Monday through Saturday from 2:00 AM to 7:00 AM and Sundays from 2:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Open containers of alcohol may not be carried in public areas, including committee rooms and hallways. Previously opened bottles of alcohol should be carried in a car trunk. No alcoholic beverage may be removed from the licensed premises at any time that alcohol sales are not allowed by law. North Carolina defines a .08 percent blood alcohol content (BAC) as legally intoxicated. “Implied consent laws” require a driver to comply with breath, blood, or urine testing for intoxication if a law enforcement officer requests it.
Delegates found possessing or using illicit drugs, as defined by United States federal law, will be required to leave the conference premises immediately and may be held criminally liable.

Furthermore, all delegates are expected to abide by committee dress code.
Plagiarism Policy
The full staff of AMWHO 2024 remains committed to excellent, substantive quality of debate and to the integrity of our conference and organization.

VISA AGREEMENT
To apply for a visa, please proceed using the following steps:
- Pay all registration fees and complete the registration document. Delegates who are applying for a visa through AMWHO are not eligible for a scholarship, as they must be able to independently fund the complete cost of their travel and the conference in order to apply for a visitor visa.
- Once you have completed the registration form and paid the fee through Eventzilla, you will receive a confirmation email from AMWHO, Inc. After confirmation, contact us through the form below or email [email protected] (Subject Line: Visa Application) with an official visa request including your name, country of citizenship, and type of visa that you will be applying for. In general, AMWHO delegates will only be eligible for tourist or business visas, depending on your country of citizenship.
- We will send you a visa letter within 5 business days of your request, which you can attach to your official application. Please be aware that AMWHO will not directly submit the letter to Immigration Services, but will send it directly to the delegate requesting the visa letter. AMWHO does not guarantee visa approval or issue, and cannot be held responsible for visa application, travel fees, or other costs associated with the application itself.
- Your registration will be on hold until your visa has been issued, in which case, you must send AMWHO a copy of your visa within 10 days of receiving it. In the event that the visa is not issued, you may request to cancel your registration. Registration fees can only be reimbursed until March 1st as stated, so we encourage you to complete your visa application as soon as possible to ensure enough time for processing.
