*Associate Member: Any English language programs wishing to join UCIEP but do not yet meet membership guidelines may request associate membership. Upon approval by the UCIEP Board, associate members can take advantage of UCIEP support, professional development, advocacy, promotion of professional standards, and conferences but may not be voting members or serve on the board, identify as UCIEP members, or use the UCIEP branding. Associate membership status has a three-year sunset and may not be renewed.

Associate Members are asked to demonstrate they meet UCIEP Guidelines by the end of their three-year membership in order to gain Full Member status. Final approval for full membership is dependent upon a recommendation by the UCIEP Board of Directors to proceed with an on-campus site visit by two representatives of UCIEP and final approval of the UCIEP Board of Directors. The prospective program will be invoiced for the site visit.

Based on your answers above, which initial type of membership would you like to apply for - Associate or Full Membership?
Most start right away as an Associate Member. If eligible for Full Membership, you may choose to apply initially as a Full Member so you don't have to pay the Associate Membership fee. Please note that if you choose to bypass the Associate Member status, you do not gain access to the UCIEP network for support until you have completely finsihed the application, passed the site visit, and been voted in from the Board. *
