After receipt of an access ID#, registration and housing can be completed via the online registration system.

It is strictly a request for an Access ID# and optional activities and registration and housing brochure. Official approval will follow the submission of the completed request form along with the required supporting documentation. |
Access ID# requests and documentation can only be accepted via the online submission site. Submissions received prior to Nov. 1, 2011 will not receive their Access ID# until mid-November, after processing and approval of the request.
