Cost & Dress Code
The cost per HOSA or FCCLA member or advisor is $10. This cost includes lunch.
Dress Code is Nebraska HOSA Business Casual or FCCLA Dress Code.
Requirements
- Students must be HOSA or FCCLA members in order to register for the event.
- Each chapter must have an advisor or school-approved chaperone attend with their students.
- Due to legal restrictions, all delegates, guests, and HOSA advisors must complete the following forms to be eligible to attend any NE HOSA Experiences or Conferences. These forms do NOT need to be submitted to HOSA, but HOSA will need to be informed if there are parents of students who do not want photos/names released in HOSA publications. The chapter advisor or chaperone should have access to these completed forms when their chapter attends any event. (FCCLA will have similar but different release forms.)
- Changes to registration can be made prior to registration closing. After closing, cancellations/refunds are not permitted, but substitutions are allowed. Late registrations may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.
