Revised student member criteria

In the midst of STC Transformation, we promised to "do no harm." It is the intention of STC's board of directors to encourage and support student membership in every way possible. Therefore, in response to the feedback we received regarding the new eligibility requirements to apply for student membership in STC, the board voted unanimously to return to the original requirements for student member status. As of the board's January meeting, the requirements for student membership read as follows:

To be eligible for student membership, an applicant must be (1) enrolled in an accredited university, college, community college, or technical school; (2) taking at least two courses or their equivalent each term; and (3) preparing for a career in technical communication.

In addition, it is no longer necessary to supply documentation of your student status. To show proof of your status, your renewal form must be signed by an STC Student Chapter Advisor or a faculty advisor teaching in the technical communication program.
