ICC Membership Process

Membership Process and Expectations

When an institution expresses interest in becoming a member of Indiana Campus Compact, the following steps are taken:

Initial conversations may be held among various Indiana Campus Compact staff members and representatives of the institution.
The Executive Director of Indiana Campus Compact and the President of the institution meet to discuss membership details.
The President submits a letter of application for membership to the Presidents Board and Chancellors.
The Presidents and Chancellors Board considers and votes on the application for membership as expediently as possible.
