6. There are two simple steps to becoming a Quit & Win Participant.

Step 1: Online Registration
Complete the Online Registration Form anytime between October 1 and October 29, 2007. Alternatively, registration may be completed by fax (612-625-2925) or phone (612-626-5520). After 5 p.m. October 29, you must complete this step in-person at the Quit & Win On-Campus Enrollment Table on your campus on October 30 or 31.

Step 2: On-Campus Enrollment
After completing Online Registration, you will need to stop by the On-Campus Enrollment Table on October 30 or 31 (click here for times and locations on your campus). At On-Campus Enrollment, you will be asked to do the following (which takes less than 15 minutes):

1. Fill out a brief survey about your current and past use of tobacco.
2. Submit a urine sample. We use this to verify that you are a current smoker by testing for derivatives of nicotine.
3. Receive quit aids like nicotine patches or gum or sign up to receive support calls from a Quit Coach.

7. Use of cessation aids is permissible and encouraged during the contest. During Step 2 of the enrollment, you will be offered several resources and cessation aids. You may also go to the Quitting Tips & Resources page on this website, or contact Maria Rangel at (612) 626-5520 for more information on what types of cessation aids and resources you can access.
