Additional Individual Membership
In addition to the membership described in Article II of the Bylaws the following membership may be available.
Transitional Membership
For professional members who gain membership through institutional purchasing, a 12-month transitional membership can be purchased at a reduced rate individually if the individual leaves the institution or is laid off. Benefits would mirror a professional membership.
Temporary Membership
A three-month non-renewable individual professional membership can be given at the discretion of the Executive Director at no cost for the advancement of the Association’s mission. Benefits would mirror a professional membership.
Membership Purchasing
Institutional
Institutions recognized by an accreditation body for higher education can purchase professional membership for all faculty and staff employed at the institution. In addition, graduate student membership can be extended to all master’s and doctoral students studying at the institution. Rates will be tiered based on the institution’s primary location, primary degree purpose, and full-time student equivalent. Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) will be the primary data source for institution classification. When an accredited institution is not listed in IPEDS, the very small four-year institution rate will be applied. Professional and graduate members can be added or removed at any time but membership length cannot exceed the membership renewal date.
Individual
Individuals may purchase a non-transferable membership for themselves.
Lifetime Membership
Lifetime professional membership can be given to any individual by the Executive Committee in recognition for their service and dedication to NODA and/or the OTR field.
