Recognition of On-campus Student Groups

ISA and SAC will continue to recognize existing on-campus student groups developed as student branches of SSA. SAC will assist with the recruitment of student ISA members. To become a recognized student organization, student groups will be reviewed and approved by their local Chapter, and subsequently by the ISA Board of Directors. This process will help to promote ISA Chapter and Board support and recognition for student organizations. On-campus student organizations will remain free to select their own names, as well as charge any regular dues for membership in their group

ISA Student Memberships

ISA will continue to offer a student membership. SAC is proposing that half of this membership fee go toward funding SAC activities including covering a portion of ISA’s costs of servicing student members. It is recommended that the remaining half go to the student member’s home ISA chapter. Upon acceptance of student membership revenue, chapters would provide the students with Chapter membership and all of the associated Chapter benefits and privileges.

SAC encourages each Professional Affiliation (PA) to develop a student membership option of its own design. Students wishing to obtain membership in any of the 4 PA’s would then meet the requirements of that particular PA. This simplification of membership options provides for better direct funding of student activities and allows the PA’s to construct their own student membership. This approach provides students with a clear understanding of their membership in ISA while eliminating confusion created by multiple affiliation options.

Chapters will continue to have the option of providing a chapter-only membership for students that do not wish to join ISA. The structure and pricing of Chapter memberships shall be at the discretion of the individual Chapters.
