Membership in ASCA shall be open to any person who has a legitimate interest in the mission, vision, core values and activities of the Association and who agrees to abide by the provisions contained in the Association’s Bylaws and Statement of Ethical Principles and Standards of Conduct. Eligibility criteria for each specific class of membership is outlined below. Members will be considered in good standing if they have no outstanding debt with the Association and have paid their dues (if required) in accordance with the dues schedule approved by the Board of Directors.
Individual Memberships belong to the individual and may not be transferred. However, Institutional Memberships belong to the institution and modifications may be made if a current affiliate member is no longer employed or changes departments. Those under an Institutional Membership who are no longer employed with the institution do not retain their membership and must rejoin ASCA with an Individual Membership or become part of another Institutional Membership.
Note: Membership purchases in most cases are non-refundable. If a refund request is granted, there will be a $35 administrative fee applied with the remaining balance being refunded back per the original method of payment.
Any person with the direct responsibility for or an interest in student conduct administration may become an individual/professional member of the Association.
