Membership is paid for through an annual subscription fee on a calendar year basis, and banded according to the number of full-time equivalent students enrolled in the last academic year.
A special discounted rate is available to study abroad providers who offer only shorter courses and semesters to international students.
Members who join mid-way through a year will have their fees pro rated.
