Student membership is available to Bachelor’s or Master’s degree students only who have not yet entered the profession. Doctoral students are ineligible for Student Membership (neither individual nor group) and are invited to review our Group Membership & Professional Development packages for membership opportunities.
To receive preferred pricing, a minimum of five (5) members must join in the same level; fewer than five (5) members will be billed at the standard membership rate. All members in the package must choose the same membership level at the time of application. Payment or purchase order must be provided at the time of registration and must accompany the Member Data Form (link below) before membership activation.
