Once registration opens, you can register through our CircuitTree. You can also find the link to register on our Linktree. Each student must be registered by their parent or legal guardian if the student is younger than 18 years old. Registrations completed by anyone other than the legal guardian will not be accepted. If a student is 18 years or older, the student has the option to register themselves.

If a student is 18 years or older, the student has the option to register themselves and fill out their own necessary forms.

For HSC 2026, we will have group registration available on the Circuitree website. This will allow you to register all students at once and make a one-time payment. Having trouble navigating registration? Visit our Linktree to find step-by-step instructions on group registration.

Payments must be made at the time of registration. While you are more than welcome to complete the information portion and pay at a later time, you are not officially registered for HSC until you have paid the registration fee. Failure to pay the registration fee by the deadline will result in an invalid registration, meaning you are ineligible to attend the conference.

Attendees under 18 years old will not be allowed to check out on their own or with an unapproved adult. Only adults listed on the student’s Approved Adult Form can check their student in and out. No exceptions will be made to this rule so that we can ensure the safety of our participants. More information will be provided after registration is complete.

There is no formal dress code for the entirety of the conference. Our only requirement is that students wear closed-toed shoes and long pants on the day of lab tours. The banquet or any other activity does not require any special clothing. Please note that students will be walking outside throughout the two days, so please make sure they dress for the weather.

Excused absence letters can be requested when checking out on Saturday of the conference. If you need an excused absence letter before the conference, please email hsc@swetamu.org.

Refunds can be issued until the refund deadline. To cancel your registration and request a refund, the legal guardian/parent must email us the registrant's full name and proof of registration. Our email is hsc@swetamu.org.

Please send an email to hsc@swetamu.org, and one of our three co-chairs will respond to you as soon as they can. If you have not heard back within 48 hours, please send a follow up to make sure your message was not sent to their spam folder.
