Membership Categories
Institutional Membership. ARC membership for a higher education institution.
(Institutional membership includes an individual membership for the person registering, and becomes cost effective when two or more members join from the same institution. Institutional membership benefits include significantly lower individual rates for an unlimited number of additional members from the same institution.)
Affiliated Membership. Individuals in higher education whose institution is an institutional membership with the ARC.
Individual Membership. Individuals in higher education whose institution is not an institutional member of the ARC.
General Membership. Individuals not affiliated with higher education.
Student Membership. For students at any level or institution.
Membership Fees
The ARC recognizes that membership and training budgets are limited. The ARC membership fee structure was created with member input and is scaled, for equity and affordability, according to institutional expenses-per-student. Membership fees are tax-free 501(c)(3) charitable donations.
Although the ARC depends on membership dues to operate, it is important that dues are not a barrier to participation for any interested individual or organization. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected] to discuss your particular situation.
