  Classes of Membership  

SCCPA offer a variety of membership levels appropriate to the needs of different applicants.

Full Member: Holder of a doctorate in psychology or an equivalent degree, or psychologist licensed to practice in California. Full Members have all of the rights and privileges of SCCPA membership including the right to vote and serve on the Board. Note that Board positions also require that SCCPA members also hold a membership in CPA (because by law we are a subchapter of CPA). Annual fee: $145.

New Doctorate: Member qualifying as Full Member, but whose doctorate in psychology was granted two years or less prior to membership. New Doctorates enjoy the same rights and privileges of SCCPA membership as Full Members, but with a reduced membership fee. Annual fee: $80.

Associate Members: Holders of a master’s degree in psychology or an equivalent degree. Associate Members have all of the rights and privileges of SCCPA membership except the right to vote or serve on the Board. Annual fee: $70.

Affiliate Members: Individuals, groups or organizations with an interest in psychology who do not meet the criteria for any other membership category. Affiliate Members have the same rights and privileges as Associate Members. Annual fee: $60.

Life Members: Any member who (1) is age 65 or older and has been a member of SCCPA for twenty (20) years, or (2) is a SCCPA member who, regardless of age or length of membership, is unable to work due to a permanent disability. Life Members pay fifty percent (50%) of the dues for the membership class that they held prior to becoming Life Members, and they retain the rights and privileges of the membership class that they had held.

Student Members: Must be enrolled in a graduate psychology program or engaged in a post-doctoral psychology training program. Student Members have all of the rights and privileges of SCCPA membership except the right to vote or serve on the Board; however, one Student Representative duly elected to serve on the Board by the members of CPAGS shall have one vote on the Board. If CPAGS does not elect a Student Representative, then any student member of SCCPA may run for the position on the SCCPA ballot. Annual fee: Free.
