Summer, Fall and Winter Break registration

Summer, Fall and Winter Break registration

Coming together after a build day, a group from Iowa State shows team spirit in Bloomington, Indiana.


Step 1: Get the information you need.
Read What You Need to Know.

Step 2: Choose potential hosts.
View the site lists to determine where you would like to go. Please determine the top three affiliates you would like to visit.

Step 3: Fill out the trip request form.
Submit a Fall/Winter/Summer Break request form. Using the information you provide, we will contact your preferred Habitat host affiliates and determine whether they are available to host your group during the time you are requesting. Please do not submit this form until you are certain that your group will be participating in a trip.

Information needed to complete the request form:

  • The week of your break.
  • The number of participants on each team. (Include faculty advisers.)
  • Your top three host affiliate choices.
  • The team leader contact information.

Please note, this request form is not for spring break registration. Spring break registration uses a different, online registration system. Spring break registration for 2010 is now closed.


Step 4: Wait for a representative from the Collegiate Challenge team.
A Collegiate Challenge team member will contact you within seven business days to update you on the status of your request. Once a Habitat affiliate has agreed to host your group, the Collegiate Challenge team will contact you to register your group over the phone.

Step 5: Confirm your trip.
Within 10 business days of registering, your team must send a completed confirmation form along with your $20 per person non-refundable program fee to the Collegiate Challenge office. Any trip that has not been confirmed within 10 business days will automatically be canceled. (Extensions can be granted upon request.)

To find out more about the Collegiate Challenge cancellation policy, read What You Need to Know.

Step 6: Read the confirmation materials.
You will receive a packet of materials once your trip is confirmed. These materials include leader and participant guides, host site contact information, a confirmation letter and necessary forms.

Step 7: Send in completed forms.
For a list of all required forms, visit the Forms page.

Step 7: Contact your host affiliate.
It is your responsibility to make the first contact with your host affiliate to start making arrangements (e.g., directions, arrival time, etc.). We also suggest that you take some time before your trip to meet with your group for some team-building activities.

Step 8: Have a great trip!
