Virtual schools with accreditation from a recognized accrediting agency and offering courses in mathematics may petition to have a chapter, provided they meet the following minimum requirements:
Virtual high school chapters shall be admitted for membership on the approval of the president and the governor of the appropriate region. Should either deny a petition for membership, the school may appeal the decision to the Governing Council for consideration. A two-thirds vote of the Governing Council shall be required to approve such a chapter for membership.
***PLEASE NOTE: SPONSORS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO PRODUCE THEIR OWN CERTIFICATES FOR MEMBERS AND ASSOCIATES. THE ONLY CERTIFICATES SPONSORS MAY DISTRIBUTE ARE THE CERTIFICATES THEY RECEIVE FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE FOR OFFICIAL MEMBERS.***
Members:
The national requirements for individual membership in a local chapter are as follows. These are the minimum requirements; chapters may elect to have stricter standards but not lower ones. Students are encouraged to participate in Mu Alpha Theta club meetings and activities, even if they do not qualify as members:
Associates:
Associates are not members of Mu Alpha Theta but are likely candidates for membership. Associates do not pay the initiation fee but are eligible to be listed with the National Office, should they wish to participate in Mu Alpha Theta national math contests. While they are not entitled to vote nor hold office in their chapter, they are entitled to attend and be heard at meetings. A student may remain an associate for only one year and then, if eligible, must be inducted as a member of Mu Alpha Theta.
Virtual School Petition
Each petitioning institution will be notified within two weeks as to the council’s decision. When a charter is granted, each student will receive a certificate of membership and a membership card. The school will receive a charter certificate.
Please add your charter member names to this Excel file and email it to us as an attachment when you submit your petition. (Middle names are optional.)
