New members must be approved by a vote of the Membership Committee (acting for the entire SCS voting membership) and by the Board. Applications received in one month will be voted upon before the end of the following month. Applicants who are accepted will receive an automatic e-mail notifying them of this and explaining how to obtain a password and login to the site and how to pay dues. For Student Members and Associates, annual dues are $25. For Regular Members, dues are $49/year, or $195 for five years, or $750 for lifetime membership. (For Regular Members, one-year dues will be renewed automatically each year and deducted from credit cards.)
