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, and 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 | Emerging Nations |
| Classic | $18.75 | $4.17 |
|
Gold |
$35.42 | $35.42 |

| New TC Professional | $13.34 | $13.34 |
| Student | $6.25 | $2.09 |

The prorated dues amount is based only on Society dues. Unless included in your membership level, chapters, SIGs, and publications are additional costs and are not prorated. Chapters are $25 each and SIGs are $10 each. For emerging nations, the cost for chapters and SIGs are discounted at $10.00 each and $5.00 each, respectively.
Membership includes electronic access to publications. If you would like to receive printed versions, a subscription is required. Please use the prorated calculations provided below.
