Joining our student chapter is absolutely free. Just fill out this form and we'll add you to our mailing list. You don't have to be a CS major, or even an engineer, and you may even get free pizza periodically. You'll also get to meet really famous people as part of our new, refurbished lecture series.Joining the national chapter of the ACM costs $26 for students. If you have a credit card, you can join over the phone; if not, you just mail them an application with a check. We now have applications and membership information on the bulletin board across from CS 101 if you need them. If the envelope is empty, please let us know, and we'll get some more applications.
