Planning Student Organizations
Each APA-registered Planning Student Organization (PSO) elects a Student Representative to represent their fellow students on the Student Representatives Council (SRC) and act as a liaison with its Executive Committee and APA. PSO Student Representatives are elected by each school on an ongoing basis.
You must register your PSO Student Representative with APA each academic year so we know who is representing your school on the SRC.
How to Register
Starting a Planning Student Organization is easy
Follow these two quick steps to get started.
- Do you have a minimum of 10 registered APA student members at your school? If not, APA student membership is free no matter what major — spread the word!
If your program is a full member of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning the requirement does not apply to you. Go ahead and register!
- After you have 10 registered APA student members, you can officially register your PSO.
