Non-Member Access with Optional Trial Membership

For the second year, AUCCCD is opening conference registration to eligible non-member counseling center directors. This change reflects AUCCCD’s commitment to expanding access and fostering collaboration across collegiate mental health leadership.

While AUCCCD membership remains limited to one director per institution (see membership criteria), eligible non-member directors may attend the 2026 AUCCCD Conference.

Eligible non-members may also opt in to a complimentary 6-month AUCCCD trial membership during registration. The trial membership begins upon payment and includes access to AUCCCD member benefits, including the AUCCCD listserv and professional resources such as the Directors’ Toolkit.

Early Registration Pricing Comparison

Non-Member Conference Rate Includes the option to activate a complimentary 6-month trial membership	$829
Current Member Conference Rate	$479
Full Membership + Member Registration $400 membership fee + $479 conference registration	$879

Prices shown above are early registration rates and will increase after September 4.

Selecting the non-member rate with the optional trial membership offers a $50 savings compared with joining outright, while still providing temporary access to AUCCCD member resources.

We’re excited to welcome new voices and perspectives to this year’s conference!
