Membership Committee Update

Member-At-Large: Membership and Public Interest

Changes to membership onboarding begins July 2025

Beginning this July (2025), SCCAP will shift from internally managing membership renewals and new applications to having APA manage the process for both APA and Non-APA members. This is simply an administrative shift to allow the SCCAP Board time to focus on providing additional member benefits such as the new SCCAP Conference! There are no changes to membership other than the platform used to renew and/or apply.

• Non-APA members and APA members will begin the process on SCCAP53.org. Under the Membership tab, you will find a description of the different membership levels and get the appropriate Free Membership Code. The registration/renew button will take you to the APA website to officially register. All registrations will be done on the APA website.
• You do not need to be a member of APA to join SCCAP or use the APA registration platform.
• Renewal does NOT change for current APA SCCAP members. You can renew your division memberships with your APA membership.
• SCCAP Dues are still $40.
• FREE Membership is offered for students, post bacs, post docs, members from low-income countries, APA-defined disabled members, life members, and for those taking gap years.
• NEW, NEW, NEW:
  • To receive your free membership, you must use a code that will be provided on the SCCAP membership website.
  • APA closes membership registration for the current year in July of that year. Those who join after July 1 will have their membership applied to the following year.
