Instructions for managing your AACRAO membership roster (video)

Make the most of your institution's AACRAO membership 

At the 2023 Annual Meeting, the AACRAO membership approved a bylaws change allowing for a new membership structure. 

Major Changes


1. As of December 2023, AACRAO provides open rosters to all institutional members. This allows for unlimited members at every member institution. Under the new structure, as long as an institution has an active AACRAO membership, all staff members can join AACRAO under that institution's account and gain access to AACRAO member benefits. 

2. Beginning with the 2024-2025 membership year, AACRAO will change its dues calculation to be based on an institution's total expenditure as reported by IPEDS, rather than enrollment. Total expenses as reported by IPEDS is a fair indicator of the institution's ability to pay and makes sure that everyone is paying their fair share.
