Chapters will still be required to submit hard copy entry forms with its payment of entry fees. All of the information, forms and support needed to complete your chapter's entries is available through this web page.

CRE Entry Process

STEP 1: Obtain a password NOW! Do not wait until ready to begin entering data. If the lead advisor is the same as last year, the password from last year will still be valid for the 2009-10 program year and you have no need to obtain a new password. If a previously issued password was lost, a new request must be submitted to obtain a new password.
