The membership renewal process differs depending on whether you are on the faculty of an accredited school, an IBM employee, or a member of a standards organization.
Renewal process
Faculty: If you are a faculty member or graduate assistant who is teaching or doing research at an accredited university, college, or high school, you will be required to specify your geographic location, information about your school, and information about how you use our offerings.
We offer the Academic Initiative renewal form for faculty in some native languages, and will be adding more languages over time.
Members of standards organizations: If you are a member of a standards body with responsibility for developing standards, you will be required to provide the following information, which will be reviewed for approval:
- Your project or subcommittee in the standards organization
- The time period for your project
- How you use IBM Academic Initiative resources for standards-related activities
- Results expected from this work
