Student Members - $50

Student Members - Revised March 11, 2010

Student membership is for students who are enrolled in a program at the baccalaureate or higher level at an accredited degree-granting institution.

The intent of the student membership is to encourage students interested in health services management/administration to join their professional college at a very special rate such that membership does not cause an undue hardship given a student’s limited financial resources.

Student memberships are issued on the following basis:

• Students are attending university on a full time or part time basis
• Applications received by June 30 of any year will be valid for the remainder of that calendar year.
• Applications received after June 30 of any year will be valid until December 31 of the following year.
• Invoices are issued in November for the following year’s membership.
• Students may remain members for a maximum of five (5) years as long as they are still enrolled in a program at an accredited degree-granting institution.
• Student membership may be retained for the remainder of the membership year following the attainment of degree requirements.
• In order to remain a College member, student members must re-apply for either Active or Associate membership upon completion of the program(s) or after five (5) years, whichever comes first.

Supporting documents required:

• A proof of enrollment in a program at an accredited degree-granting institution (University)
• A copy of your diplomas and degrees or transcripts
• A copy of your curriculum vitae
