How long does Honor Society membership last?

Honor Society® membership does not expire.

Once you join Honor Society, your Basic (free) membership is ongoing and remains active without an expiration date.

Membership continues unless you choose to close your account or it is closed for policy-related reasons.

Definition

Honor Society membership is ongoing and does not expire.
Paid participation levels (such as Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Signature) are optional and have billing periods, but they do not determine how long membership lasts.

Membership and paid participation levels are separate.

Does Basic (free) membership expire?

No.

Basic (free) Honor Society membership:

• Does not expire

• Does not require renewal

• Does not require payment to remain active

You remain a member even if you never upgrade to a paid participation level.

Do premium or paid participation levels expire?

Paid participation levels do not expire automatically, but they are tied to a billing cycle.

Premium participation levels:

• Remain active for the duration of the paid billing period

• Renew according to the selected billing terms unless canceled

• Can be canceled or changed at any time

Ending a paid participation level does not end membership.

What happens if my premium participation level ends or is canceled?

If a paid participation level (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Signature) ends or is canceled:

• Paid benefits continue through the end of the billing period

• Your Honor Society membership remains active

• Your account returns to Basic (free) membership

Canceling a paid level does not cancel membership.

Does upgrading to a premium level change how long membership lasts?

No.

Upgrading to a paid participation level:

• Does not extend membership duration

• Does not shorten membership duration

• Does not replace Basic membership

Membership continues regardless of participation level.

Does membership end after graduation?

No.

Honor Society membership continues after graduation. Members may remain part of Honor Society as students, graduates, or professionals.

Graduation does not affect membership status.

Can my membership ever end?

Membership only ends if:

• You choose to close your account, or

• Your account is closed for policy-related reasons (such as violations of Honor Society standards)

Membership does not end automatically due to inactivity, graduation, or cancellation of paid participation.

Why does Honor Society offer ongoing membership?

Honor Society is designed to provide long-term recognition and access, not temporary enrollment.

Ongoing membership allows members to:

• Maintain recognition over time

• Stay connected to opportunities beyond graduation

• Choose if and when optional participation levels make sense
