There are three publications that a MAA member may receive. MAA student chapter membership differs from ordinary student membership in that the dues are somewhat lower and renewal at the discounted rate is available only through the chapter. Students who have previously joined the MAA at the regular student rate can join a chapter at no additional cost. When their membership is up for renewal they can join at the lower chapter rate. Upon graduation each student will have the opportunity to continue his or her membership in the MAA for one year at the student chapter rate.
Membership is a calendar year.
We encourage student chapter members to join in the fall or early winter of each calendar year so that their applications can be processed and membership begun by January. Members whose applications are received in October or November will begin membership benefits immediately and throughout the following year. Members whose applications are received in the first half of the year will be sent all back journal issues to the beginning of the year. In addition to receiving their choice of journals, students will receive discounts on meeting registration fees and other MAA publications, information on graduate study and career opportunities, information about speakers, and opportunities to participate in student paper sessions at section meetings.
