Q: When are my 2009 membership dues actually due?
A: Dues payments are due prior to January 1 of the dues billing year. Therefore, our bank should receive 2009 dues by January 1, 2009. Dues received after the deadline are assessed a 10% late fee.
Q: Can I pay my dues or applicant fee on line?
A: Yes, click here.
Q: I have been paying dues as a Candidate or Fast Track Associate member, why have they recently been increased to $425?
A: Both Candidate and Fast-Track Associate Members' dues are discounted for up to three years following the completion of their residency. Once you have passed the three year mark, dues are no longer discounted and you pay the same rate as Active and Associate Members.
Q: Will I receive only one invoice?
A: No, we mail four invoices. The first is mailed in mid September and the final notice is mailed in March. If you are not receiving your invoices, please contact the Member Services Department immediately. We may need to update your mailing address.
Q: Why shouldn't I send correspondence with my payment?
A: If you use the return envelope enclosed with your invoice, your payment is actually mailed to a P.O. Box used by our bank. Correspondence mailed to the P.O. Box address eventually reaches our office, but it may take several weeks for it to arrive at the Member Services Department. Therefore, it is important to mail your correspondence, especially time sensitive requests, to our office address: Member Services Department, 1000 Corporate Boulevard, Linthicum, MD 21090, U.S.A.
Q: Can I pay my dues by credit card?
A: Yes, the AUA accepts payments by Visa, MasterCard and American Express. You can provide your credit card information on the invoice, over the phone by calling 410-689-3933, on line, or send it directly to our office via fax, 410-689-3939. Please be sure to indicate your AUA member ID number on your check or faxed credit card information.
Q: Can I deduct The Journal of Urology® or any of the allocations from my dues payment?
A: No, the dues amount billed is a fixed amount and must be paid in full.
Q: Are my AUA Section dues included with my AUA dues payment?
A: No, AUA Section members will receive a separate invoice from their Section. The only exceptions are the North Central Section, Northeastern and New York, whose members' dues will be billed with AUA dues in 2009.
Q: Do I qualify for a dues reduction or exemption?
A: Refer to "Qualifying for Dues Reduction or Exemption."
Q: What is the AUA Automatic Dues Renewal Program?
A: The Automatic Dues Renewal Program allows the AUA to keep a record of your credit card information and charge the applicable membership fees to that credit card each year on or around the renewal of your membership. When you sign up you will receive a $25.00 gift card once your dues are processed. Please contact Member Services for more information, 410-689-3933 or Membership@AUAnet.org.
