The Reinstatement Policy is the path for former members to rejoin and recover their certification. The process can occur at any time during the year, and is for a previous member who wants to rejoin as a Certified Member or for an Alumni Member who wants to move from Alumni into Certified Membership status.
- The reinstatement process is the same for all disciplines.
- If you wish to rejoin PSIA-AASI and do not want to pursue or maintain a certification, you can rejoin as an Alumni Member (if qualifications are met) or as a Registered Member and bypass the reinstatement process.
- If you are currently an Alumni Member and want to move to Certified Member status, the same reinstatement process must be completed, and you pay fifty percent (50%) of the reinstatement fee.
Reinstatement Process
| Membership Lapse | Reinstatement Fee | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 years | $210 + current season’s dues | Follow the certified inactive process and earn CEUs for each year you did not pay dues, within the season of reinstatement: 1 year — 12 CEUs; 2 years — 18 CEUs; 3 years — 24 CEUs; 4 years — 24 CEUs. Membership years will reflect the original join date. |
| 5–10 years | $380 + current season’s dues | Earn 24 CEUs within one season. You are responsible for working with your primary region and gaining approval for the recertification plan (processes vary by region). Membership years of service will be determined by the region’s calculations and noted in your profile. |
| 11 or more years | Apply to the region | Members may apply to a region for recertification consideration. If accepted, a personal recertification plan will be developed by the region in which the member wishes to recertify. |
If CEUs are not attained within the required timeframe, the member remains in inactive status and is responsible for paying any associated fee(s). While going through the reinstatement process, the membership will show as inactive status (including on the membership card) until the required CEUs and any other reinstatement requirements are met. Once completed, membership status updates to active.
