Joining ICA


Thank you for your interest in ICA! For a complete explanation of ICA membership benefits, click here.

The ICA membership year runs from 1 October to 30 September of each year. New members joining mid-year receive full membership benefits upon enrollment, including online access to all previously published ICA journals. Dues are not pro-rated based on the date joined.


The Dues Tier System:

ICA has a triple-tiered dues structure following the UN model for A, B, and C countries, based on the World Bank's indicators of Gross National Income. B-tier countries pay 75% of the A-tier price and residents of C-tier countries pay 50% of the A-tier price.

Your country tier is determined by the location of the university with which you are currently affiliated. Click here to find your country tier.
