Membership

Membership Application Procedure

Club affiliation is governed by our bylaws.  Full membership requires a valid amateur radio license and is open to all students. Associate membership is for students without licenses and other interested parties.  Advisory membership includes UCSC ARC alumni, staff and faculty and ARRL members having an interest in developing our club.  Please consult our bylaws for details.

Step 1. Log in using your UCSC Blue account.  This will automatically create a web account allowing you to read most site content but doesn't mean you are a member until you edit your newly created account and specifically request to become a member.

Step 2. From the User Menu, select "My account" and then select the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and proceed to complete the fields to apply for membership.  Briefly, these are:
