How to do I join ASA (or renew my membership) online?
Log in to the ASA homepage (if you don’t have a record in our system, you can create one). Once you log in, click “Become A Member” or “Renew Membership” and fill out the membership form. We strongly encourage online renewal, as your member benefits become available immediately. Need help? Call (202) 247-9840, option 1, or email [email protected].
Can I pay for membership with a check or money order?
AS OF MARCH 2021, UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE DELIVERIES TO ASA HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DELAYED — OFTEN BY WEEKS. WE RECOMMEND RENEWING ONLINE OR SENDING YOUR CHECK THROUGH FEDEX OR UPS.
If you would like to pay for your membership with a check or money order, there are two options. The best way is to log in to the ASA homepage (follow the directions on the question above). When you reach the end of the membership form, click “Bill Me” as your Payment Option. Then, on the next page or in the email you receive, print the invoice and send it to us with your check or money order. If that is not possible, you can download the membership fillable form (link below), fill it out, and then print it.
Once you have an invoice or a completed paper membership form (you only need one or the other), send it with your check or money order to American Sociological Association, Membership Department, 1717 K Street NW, Suite 900, Washington, DC 20006.
What is my ASA Member Portal and how can I access it?
If you have an ASA username and password, you have an ASA Member Portal. Your ASA Member Portal is the place to join or renew your membership, register for the Annual Meeting, add sections, access online journals, get receipts, access the Member Directory, and much more. To access your ASA Member Portal, simply log in to the ASA website.
How can I subscribe to ASA journals as a member?
All ASA members receive online access to 9 ASA journals as a benefit of membership. All members (except International Associate members) can also opt-in to receiving one print journal of their choice. Opt-in print journal selections and additional print journal purchases may be made through the join and renew Membership Form. To add a journal outside of joining or renewing, please contact [email protected].
My journal hasn’t arrived. When was it mailed?
Visit our Mailing and Receipts Date page to review when journal subscriptions lists are pulled, when the journal is mailed, and when it arrives in the ASA office. This should provide a general idea of when your journal should arrive.
Can I change my journal selection during the year?
ASA is not able to change a print journal selection after you have joined or renewed. If you would like to add a print journal subscription during your membership year, please email [email protected].
What are the time parameters of the ASA membership year?
ASA memberships run on an anniversary-based year. In other words, memberships last for 365 days, regardless of when they are purchased. If you renew your membership before it expires, 365 days of membership will be added to your current expiration date. For example, if you renew your membership on January 15 and your current membership expires on February 4, your expiration date will be extended to February 4 the following year.
Does ASA offer multiple-year memberships?
While renewing via the ASA Member Portal, ASA members in eligible categories* can prepay for up to two years of future membership. Buying multiple years of membership allows members to lock in current membership dues rates. For some members, it also allows them to use grant funds that may not be available in future years. The prepayment process can be completed by logging in to the ASA Member Portal, clicking “Become A Member” or “Renew Membership,” and selecting the 2 Year or 3 Year rate on the membership category page. *Student, Not Employed, Under $30,000, Part-Time Contingent Faculty, and Affiliate members are not eligible to prepay for future years of membership.
When can I renew my ASA membership?
Nine months before your current membership expires, a “Renew Membership” button will become available in your ASA Member Portal. We will send email reminders to you starting three months before your membership expires.
How do I report a change of address?
Log in to the ASA Member Portal, click My Profile on the left-side menu, and then scroll down to the Primary and Alternate Address sections. Once you have updated your information, scroll down and click the Update Profile button to save your changes. If you prefer, address changes may be sent to the Member Support Center at [email protected]. Change of addresses are not accepted by telephone.
How can I get a copy of my receipt?
If you don’t immediately see your receipt in your inbox, please check your spam filter. Receipts are often caught in institutional spam filters. If you still do not see it, you can access a history of your transactions and any receipts through your ASA Portal. Simply log in to the ASA Member Portal, then scroll down the bottom-left menu and click “Receipts.”
Individual memberships are non-transferable.
Can I cancel my membership during the year and receive a refund?
Membership may be cancelled by contacting the ASA Member Support Center at [email protected], but ASA is not able to offer a refund for cancelled memberships.
May I add an additional section to my membership mid-year?
If you are a current member, you may add sections by logging in to the ASA Member Portal, then clicking “Sections” on the left-hand menu. Select your desired sections, then proceed to checkout.
May I join a section without being a member?
No, section membership is reserved for current ASA members.
Do you offer lifetime memberships?
ASA does not offer lifetime memberships.
For any other questions, please contact the ASA Member Support Center at [email protected] or (202) 247-9840, option 1.
