Fees
One of the steps to becoming a Member of IAU concerns the constitutional obligation to settle annual membership fees. These are payable per academic year (1 October to 30 September). As soon as IAU receives the payment of fees, the applying institution/organization will become entitled to all membership benefits.
The IAU financial year runs from 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013.
Member Institutions
Since 2006, and in order to demonstrate solidarity with institutions based in low income countries, the IAU institutional membership fee structure is based on a combination of institutional student enrollment and the Gross National Product (GNP) of the country.
Please note that universities and institutions of higher education applying for membership in IAU are not required to settle membership dues until admission has been granted by the Association.
