Attention IEEE Student Branches How to Register for the On line Student Membership Application The Student Activities Committee is continuing prototyping the on line application form for new Student members. Since 1 September 1998, over 1,500 new Student members have joined the IEEE using the on line application from over 80 IEEE Student Branches around the world. Student Branches worldwide may request to be added to the service by meeting the following criteria: · Students must have easy web access. · The Branch Counselor MUST be a frequent web user and must agree to be a participant and approve applications via the web. · Your Branch must promote applications over the web site so that we can generate traffic. Here is how it works. Students apply through the web, and get a reference number. They can track their application through the web as well. The Branch Counselor accesses the application over the web and approves it over the web. IEEE Staff in New Jersey retrieve approved applications electronically. Student Branches can access information about the applications as well. Students mail in their payment along with a submission receipt that they print out from the web site. Students applying from the USA and Canada can submit credit card information by a 1-800 number, and need not mail in any information if they use this service. Outside the U.S., the submission receipt can be sent by fax to the IEEE Operations Center if paying with a credit card. If your Branch has a strong interest, please email applyreq@sandbox.ieee.org with your request. The Branch counselor must also send an email message indicating their willingness to participate, and approving the Branches' request. We look forward to your participation in this great new program for recruiting IEEE Student members! ************************************** Laura J.
