HOSA Canada Registration
Registration has ended for the 2023-2024 school year.
Students must purchase a membership to be eligible to participate in HOSA competitions and attend workshops. As a member, students will get access to study materials for the competitive event in which they have registered to compete as well as US HOSA’s benefits, which include scholarships, summer research program opportunities, and more.
The included events fee goes towards covering the cost of organizing monthly workshops/seminars and both the Fall and Spring Leadership Conferences. For more information, please visit the Conferences and Workshops page
Chapter Registration
In order to form a chapter, you need a minimum of five paying students and a teacher advisor.
- Complete the following form (LINK) and provide the details of the chapter president and teacher. Please ensure all fields are completed, as we will need to communicate with you throughout the year.
- Once the form above is completed, you will be emailed a spreadsheet that will be used to register your members.
- Follow the instructions on the “Instructions” sheet carefully, to ensure you register your members correctly.
- To register for FLC: Please click the “submit” button on your spreadsheet by November 10, 2023 at 11:59 pm. Any changes made to the spreadsheet after this date will not be accepted for FLC.
- After FLC is over, you can make changes to the spreadsheet for SLC. To register for SLC: Please click the “submit” button on your spreadsheet by March 15, 2024 at 11:59 pm. Any changes made to the spreadsheet after this date will not be accepted.
- After you click submit, an invoice will be emailed to you within two business days.
- For SLC, we must receive your payment no later than March 29 at 11:59 pm. You can send a scanned image of the front and back of the cheque to finance@hosacanada.org to expedite the process, and avoid mailing delays. Please do not resubmit already registered students. To change their events and other information, send info@hosacanada.org an email.
- Schools must ensure that we receive a cheque with the amount indicated on your invoice by the above deadlines. Please send a clear, well-lit image of the front and back of the cheque on a level surface, if your students would like to receive their Google Classroom resources sooner.
- If you registered a student for FLC, you do not need to pay for them again for SLC. However, if after FLC, you add new students, we must receive their payment by the SLC registration deadline.
- Please make sure that students only provide a Gmail, so that we can send them their Google Classroom resources. This means that students cannot provide a school email or an email with a non-Gmail domain (ex. Yahoo, Hotmail, iCloud, etc.).
To change an event, the student should send an email to info@hosacanada.org. If you update the spreadsheet but do not notify us, the change will not be accepted, and you will not be sent the new Google Classroom resources.
Independent Registration
The 2023-2024 school year is the LAST year we will be allowing students to register individually. As such, it is highly encouraged that you begin to start forming a chapter at your school, to avoid not being able to participate in subsequent years.
Please note the following changes for independent registration:
- You cannot compete in team events
- There is an additional $10 administrative fee to reflect transaction charges.
To register individually, visit this link. Please only provide a Gmail when registering, or else you cannot receive your Google Classroom resources.
The SLC registration/payment/event change/teammate information/refund deadline is March 29, 2024, at 11:59 pm.
IMPORTANT: If you are a part of a chapter, you may NOT register and pay here. Please communicate with your chapter teacher and president about registration, as this is for INDEPENDENT REGISTRATION ONLY.
