Providing leadership in Christian distance education through resources, community, and promotion


Benefits: Individual, Institutional, Corporate

ACCESS is a member-driven association and as such we rely on the active support of those who have been part of our forty-two year history as well as invite new members to be part of our future.
Individual Membership

Individual Membership is for those who may be part of an institution, organization, or group that is not currently part of ACCESS. These individuals are able to join in the ACCESS community and participate fully in association activities. Membership benefits include complete access to our ‘members only’ web page, conference discounts, eligibility for course development awards and much more. Being part of a community helps one stay current on the research, technology trends, and membership developments. We strongly recommend the individual membership package to students who are interested in engaging with professionals in the field of Christian distance education.
