Student Affiliates

AIA strongly supports students in the fields of architecture and design by offering a reduced membership rate, full membership benefits and educational resources for Student Affiliates (SA). If you are a student at the University of Colorado at Denver or the University of Colorado at Boulder, AIA membership is included in your AIAS membership. Please contact your AIAS leader for more information. Arapahoe Community College recently added an AIAS chapter.

Memberships run on a calendar year, with renewals due by Jan. 31. If you join in the months of Jan. - Sept. you are considered a member of the current year. If you join Oct. - Dec., you are considered a member for the next calendar year. Your membership benefits will start immediately.

Full payment is required when you submit your membership application. Membership dues can be paid in cash (please do not mail), checks payable to "AIA Colorado," MasterCard, Visa or American Express. Membership dues are prorated quarterly. View the dues structure to determine your annual membership fee.

SA members are strongly encouraged to get involved with AIA. Attend AIA events or join a committee. Not sure what opportunities are available? Contact Alaina Gonzales at 303.446.2266.

Renewals

AIA membership renewals occur at the end of the calendar year, with final payments due by Jan. 31. If you have questions about an invoice or payment, contact Alaina Gonzales at 303.446.2266.

Transfers

Student Affiliate members can transfer within the state of Colorado only. Student Affiliate membership cannot transfer to other state chapters of AIA. Contact Alaina Gonzales at 303.446.2266.

Upgrades

Once you've graduated and are working in the field of architecture, you can join AIA at the state, local and national level. Your student membership is good through the end of the calendar year. At that time, you will need to become an Associate AIA member in order to retain membership benefits.
