Section 16 - Applications for Membership, Billing and Renewals

16.1 New Applicants Schedule

An applicant for IEEE membership shall pay annual dues, and any assessments, with the application submitted. Sponsors of membership applications are encouraged to make such payments when practical to avoid a delay in effective membership as defined in Bylaw I-106.4. Should an application fail, the sum remitted with the application shall be refunded in full.

For new memberships and subscriptions, all applicable dues, assessments and fees shall apply as follows:

If payment is received in the period 16 August to 31 December, inclusive, membership shall continue until 31 December of the following year.

If payment is received in the period 1 January to the last day of February, inclusive, membership shall continue until 31 December of the current year.

If payment is received in the period 1 March to 15 August, inclusive, the dues and assessment, if any, payable shall be one-half of the annual dues and assessment, if any, and membership shall continue until 31 December of the current year.
