SkillsUSA Membership Registration

SkillsUSA Membership Registration
EVERY STUDENT COMPETITOR MUST BE REGISTERED AND PAID AS A NATIONAL MEMBER OF SKILLSUSA ON OR BEFORE THE DEADLINE OF FEBRUARY 17, 2017 OR THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE IN THE STATE COMPETITION.
 

•  Official Membership Registration requires the submission of complete and accurate student information plus full payment of all membership dues by the membership deadline of February 17, 2017.  Students that are not registered and paid members of SkillsUSA will not be allowed to compete at the state conference.  This mandatory registration deadline is required to provide sufficient time for the proper verification of student membership status before the close of state conference registration.

 
While many advisors have already submitted a membership roster of students and advisors from their school, it may be necessary to add new student / professional members, so it is appropriate for us to share the membership registration procedures one more time. 
 
1.  MEMBERSHIP DEADLINE IN UTAH IS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17TH, 2017

• Our new registration system WILL NOT ALLOW students to register for their Contests until they are a REGISTERED, PAID, MEMBERS of SkillsUSA.
• Students registered as members after this deadline will not be eligible to compete for the gold medal at the State Conference and they are not eligible for national competition.

 
2. MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED ON THE NATIONAL WEBSITE AT WWW.SKILLSUSA.ORG.

• Instructions for the completion of the membership registration on the national website can be found on our STATE WEBSITE (www.utahskillsusa.org) by:
  • Going to our ULSC Page under ‘Membership’ OR
  • CLICKING HERE 
  • If you need additional assistance with membership registration, please call the national membership hotline at 844-875-4557, or email them at operators@skillsusa.org. 

 
3.  MEMBERSHIP DUES:

• Student Membership Dues are $16.00 for all High School/Secondary and College/Post-Secondary students.

• Advisor/professional membership dues are $30.00 and includes on-line access to the current Technical Standards.
• When you click the final “submit” button on the membership registration site, an invoice will be generated and you must make payment arrangements for this invoice amount.  If you add more members later, an additional invoice will be created, and a second payment will be required.
• You will need to register a few extra student members in case you need “alternates” or “substitutes” for last minute drop outs and emergencies.  Every year we have to disqualify a few competitive teams because they do not have enough registered members due to last minute issues and emergencies.  It would be prudent to have a few eligible “alternates” registered as members to avoid this problem.
• Membership dues are paid directly to the National SkillsUSA office in Leesburg, Virginia.  If paying by credit card, payment is completed on-line through the national website.  If paying by check, please include a copy of the invoice with the check and mail them to the address shown on the membership invoice. We have had schools accidently mail their memberships checks to us, just delaying their payment that much longer.
