Dues Proration Policy
STC membership is based on a calendar year. All memberships expire on 31 December. Individuals joining STC for the first time (or former members whose membership has lapsed more than a year) pay Society dues, a $30.00 enrollment fee, chapter and SIG fees (if applicable). If you are reinstating your membership after a break of less than one year, you will pay the dues amount, a $15.00 reinstatement fee, chapter and SIG fees (if applicable).
Proration: If you join after January, the system will calculate your dues based on the number of months remaining in the year (including the month in which you join).
| Membership Type | Dues | Developing Countries |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $17.92 | $13.34 |
| Gold | $32.92 | $32.92 |
| SIG Value Package | $31.25 | $31.25 |
| Student | $6.25 | $5.00 |
| Retired | $12.08 | $12.08 |
The prorated dues amount is based only on Society dues. Add $25 for each chapter selected and $10 for each SIG. If you are joining in October, November or December, please pay the full dues amount and you will be credited through the end of the following year.
