3-year membership

• Three times the current Student*/General membership due rate (whichever applicable) due rate and a 10% discount

4-year membership

• Four times the current Student*/General membership due rate (whichever applicable) due rate and a 15% discount 

5-year membership

• Five times the current Student*/General membership due rate (whichever applicable) due rate and a 20% discount

* Students would need to provide a proof of studentship for the duration of the period selected.
