I have not gotten what I wanted from AASCIT. I'd like my dues refunded.
 
 

AASCIT prohibits refunding dues for any reason when a membership terminates.


Do I have to have an accredited degree?
 
 

Accreditation is useful because it gives you and the university an assurance that graduates will meet the learning requirements, but other degrees may well give the necessary learning. If your degree isn't accredited, we'll ask you for some information about it so that we can judge whether it meets the requirements.


Should I pay taxes when purchasing membership?
 
 

Membership dues are not taxable.
