Frequently Asked Questions about Affiliation

How do I obtain a username/password for the NACURH Information Center website?
Email nic.affilaitions@nacurh.org and be sure to copy the MACURH RCC of Recruitment & Retention [ma_recruitment@nacurh.org] so they know that a request was made. Every NCC, RHA Advisor, RHA President, and NRHH President should have this information in order to update their portion of the website as needed. PLEASE do not have each representative send a separate email, as each school only has ONE username and ONE password to be shared with all representatives.

How much does affiliation cost and when is this amount due?

Depending on your type of membership, your affiliation cost will vary.

Associate Member (first-time affiliation ONLY): $35/year
Small School (1,000 residents or fewer on campus): $85/year
Large School (1,001 residents or greater on campus): $110/year

This amount is due to the NACURH Information Center at any point throughout the year. In order to have voting rights for the current affiliation year, it is required for dues to be paid prior to the opening of the MACURH Regional Conference.

When should schools pay their dues?

It is STRONGLY recommended to give anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on the check-cutting process for your school for the check to make it to the NACURH Information Center and be processed. If you cannot mail it within those time frames, representatives from the NACURH Information Center are available at check-in during regional conferences to accept payment. Payment MUST be completed in either a check or money order, and be for the exact amount only.

Does NRHH have to pay a separate affiliation cost?

As of NACURH 2007, the cost to affiliate a school includes both an RHA and NRHH chapter for each campus. If your school only has either an RHA or an NRHH, you are still required to pay the full amount. Also, a school must be affiliated before it is allowed to establish an NRHH chapter on its campus.

How do voting rights work?

Associate Memberships do not include voting rights within either regional or national business. However, those schools are welcome within boardrooms to discuss, debate, move, and otherwise participate. Small and Large School Memberships include all of the rights listed above as well as voting privileges. The NACURH Information Center representative at regional conferences has the final say regarding voting rights for member schools and is unable to make exceptions to the guidelines set forth in policy.

What is the Resource File Index, and how do I utilize this resource?
The Resource File Index, or RFI, is a massive collection of documents written by NACURH member schools throughout its history. For convenience, the RFI is divided into categories: first, the submitted reports for the current affiliation year broken down by type; and second, any regional or national award bid winners submitted in lieu of a RFI report. Additionally, all winning bids for Regional Board of Director positions are available on the RFI. All of these documents are available to order by affiliated schools.
