The summary of the invoice is available upon request, otherwise, a list of registered projects will be sent out via email/mail the week (7-10 days) following registration deadline.

Coordinator/Educator Notes:

1. We recommend that the student registrations be entered and submitted by a responsible adult; we are counting on a reduction of errors and omission by student registering. Online registrations cannot be submitted with any missing information - other than the email address. Please double check all registrations prior to either sending hard copies or before registrations are entered by the responsible adult. Any information not submitted on the hard copy of the registration form, may cause problems. Remind all students to print out registration form prior to submission. Once the school's science fair coordinator receives the registration lists from the regional office, all information needs to be checked and reviewed as well as a check requested to the school to cover the fees. Educators need to refer back to their original list to ensure all exhibitors are included. In the past, incorrect categories or grade levels have been entered (by school, regional office or individuals) which caused a lot of confusion and problems for the participant. In the past, we had a couple of schools who didn't notice the omission of registrations. At our office, we will be very careful in entering the information, but schools/educators also need to be very careful in reviewing the info.
2. If you have any trouble or questions, or need verification, or change on any registrations, please email the science.fair@mnsu.edu and we will get back to as soon as we can.
