Membership in OACRAO

OACRAO membership is institutional.  Any two year or four year degree granting institution of higher education in the state of Oklahoma accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools are eligible for membership.  Eligibility of other educational institutions may be considered and approved by the OACRAO Executive Committee.  Non-accredited institutions admitted as an OACRAO member prior to 2007 will be grandfathered into the organization.  There is no limit to the number of members a member institution may have; however, institutional membership entitles the institution to only one (1) vote.  The voting representative of the institution shall be designated on the annual membership form.  An alternate voting representative may be appointed by the voting representative or elected by institutional representatives. Institutional membership entitles the institution to receive and participate on the OACRAO listserv.

Individuals who are not otherwise eligible for any other membership in OACRAO and who desire to participate in its activities may apply for associate membership. Application must be submitted to and approved by the OACRAO Executive Committee. This membership is non-voting.

Each member institution shall pay an institutional membership fee according to the following schedule.  

The institutional enrollment as considered in determining membership fees shall be the total collegiate head-count officially reported by institutions each fall to the Oklahoma State Regents.  The secretary-treasurer shall bill each member institution for membership dues approximately sixty days before the annual meeting date.
