Student Membership
APA has discontinued the use of the student membership enrollment portal that allowed for bulk sign-up of student members. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Students are encouraged to sign up for their free APA student membership individually.
Promoting APA Membership
Introduce your students to the American Planning Association. Below are promotional materials to help you, from videos to digital versions on the printed materials you received as part of the APA student toolkit in August. Feel free to use them however you like — we recommend showing the videos at new student orientations, posting our student-focused blog content to your department's website and social media pages, and posting the flyers anywhere your students gather.

Written to help explain the membership structure, the value of APA membership and how to get involved in different ways.
