Through the online registration, you can register for the convention and pay your NHSPA membership dues. You will be able to pay by check or credit card. We are using a new system managed by a professional team at the university. If you have any problems or questions with the registration, just fill out the form after clicking on the “contact us” button.

Additional instructions:

If you want to register more than 10 students, select the 10+ option and type in the exact number.
Upon registering, you will be emailed an invoice with payment information. Checks should be made payable to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and sent to this address:

Big Red Business Center

If you complete the registration but later need to make any changes, return to the homepage via the registration link and click on the link for “already registered.” Using your email and confirmation number, you can access your registration and modify it.
There is a page for including your NHSPA membership dues in the total. You can also add additional memberships if you are completing the form for more than one adviser.
The NHSPA and Walsworth will be offering a free pizza lunch for advisers from 11:30 to 12:30 – so just let us know on the form how many advisers will be attending.

The registration deadline is Monday, Oct. 10, at 5 p.m., but we’d appreciate if you could register at your earliest convenience.
