SCCAP has transitioned away 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. There are no changes to membership other than the platform used to renew and/or apply.

• You do not need to be a member of APA to join SCCAP or use the APA registration platform.
• Non-APA members and APA members may begin the process on SCCAP53.org. Under the Membership tab, you will find a description of the different membership levels and if appropriate, the 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.
• Renewal does NOT change for current APA members. You can renew your division memberships with your usual 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, for those taking gap years, and for first time members.
• Student Membership is FREE, but you must renew every year.
• FREE, FREE, FREE:
  • To receive your free membership, you must use a code that will be provided on the SCCAP membership website.  Do NOT PAY if you think your membership should be free.  Contact APA Membership.
  • 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.
• Help us grow SCCAP by sharing this information with your colleagues, students, and friends! First time members can use the FREE CODE: Div53New
