What happens if I take time off from school?

Nothing changes. Your Honor Society® membership continues if you take time off from school.

Honor Society® membership is not tied to continuous enrollment. Taking time off—whether temporarily or for an extended period—does not cancel or affect your membership.

Definition

Honor Society membership is not dependent on active enrollment.
Taking time off from school does not create, cancel, or modify membership status. Membership and participation levels are separate from enrollment.

What happens to my membership if I take time off?

If you take time off from school:

Your Honor Society® membership remains active
Your membership does not expire
You continue to be recognized as an Honor Society® member
You continue to receive communications and opportunities available to members

Taking time off does not end membership.

Do I still have access to scholarships and opportunities?

Yes.

As long as your membership is active:

You continue to have full access to the Honor Society scholarships platform and available opportunities
Participation levels do not affect scholarship access

Each scholarship or opportunity lists its own eligibility criteria, which may specify student, graduate, or professional requirements.

Do I need to update my account if I take time off?

Updating your profile (such as enrollment status or school information) is optional. You may update it if you wish, but it is not required to remain a member.

Membership continues regardless of profile updates.

Does taking time off affect my participation level?

No.

Taking time off:

Does not cancel a paid participation level
Does not end a billing period
Does not require a change to participation level

Participation levels remain optional and can be changed at any time.

Can I return to school later and remain a member?

Yes.

Many members take time off and later return to school while remaining Honor Society® members throughout. Membership continues regardless of changes in enrollment timing.

Why doesn’t taking time off affect membership?

Honor Society is designed to provide long-term recognition and access, independent of enrollment timelines.

This allows members to:

Maintain recognition during life or academic transitions
Stay connected to scholarships and opportunities over time
Participate regardless of changes in enrollment status
