Frequently Asked Questions

Please explore our FAQs below. If you still have questions, contact us.

What does NASPA stand for?

Historically, NASPA stands for National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. However, we have updated the name of the association to NASPA, Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education.

Does an institutional membership include each individual professional at the institution?

NASPA Membership is on an individual basis. Whether or not your institution is a member of NASPA determines your appropriate member type. Professionals at NASPA member institutions are eligible to join as the subsidized member type, Professional Affiliate. Institutional membership does include a complimentary individual membership for the Voting Delegate. Please note: In order to receive discounted member pricing on NASPA registrations and products, the individual must retain an active individual membership.

Are NASPA memberships transferable/refundable?

NASPA memberships are non-transferable/non-refundable. They may not be transferred individual-to-individual or institution-to-institution. With institutional membership, the designation of the Voting Delegate's complimentary membership may be reassigned by contacting the Membership Department at (202) 719-1161 or by email.

I'm having issues accessing my account. How can I get help?

If you have ever had a membership, attended an event, purchased a publication, or been involved with NASPA in any way, you likely have an account with us already. Please search on our website to see if you can find an old account, and look for your name, current or previous email address or institution, and other details. If you do, please contact us at [email protected] or [email protected] so that we can gain you access to that account. If you find no results, proceed to create a new account.

 

DON’T create a new account if you are transitioning to a new role, graduating, or otherwise leaving an institution. Please use the same account and update your information. You do not need access to the email address associated with your account if you remember your password. However, you will want to update that address upon successful login.

 

If you forgot your password and also no longer have access to the email address associated with your account, please contact us at [email protected] or [email protected] or by phone at (202)265-7500. Forgot your password? Clicking the Forgot Your Password link below the login button will send you an email allowing you to change it. This link is only good for 24 hours.
