All members receive the IAPCHE newsletter Contact by e-mail or a printed copy for an extra charge of $30U.S. per year, and are listed in the website directory which gives the addresses, phone numbers, academic disciplines, dissertation topics, and current teaching, research, and service of the individual members. The website directory is updated weekly. Individual members are the voting members of IAPCHE.

Affiliate members are non-degree-granting agencies serving Christian higher education that would benefit from membership and could assist IAPCHE in developing its network. They have declared agreement with IAPCHE’s Purpose and Basis and contribute $50U.S. a year in membership dues. Such agencies are listed in the website directory and are given opportunity to report on their work in Contact.

Dues usually start at $125U.S. and currently range as high as $2500U.S. The chart below suggests dues based on number of students and the economic classification of the country.
