How the membership works for schools
A representative from your school can select the appropriate plan above and make a payment. This will set in motion the following steps:
- We will contact you with an exclusive pathway for students and faculty to create a free account. Students and faculty are responsible for managing their own account.
- We will also begin building your school’s directory page, and reach out to you for input on the langague.
