We are now offering $10 Reimbursement

The IEEE BCIT Student Branch wants more students to receive the benefits of a paid IEEE student member. However, we realize that money can be scarce when you’re a student. So our student branch has decided to reimburse $10 CAD to anyone who signs up for a student membership.

 

Please follow the steps below to receive your reimbursement:

  1. Email us an electronic copy of your proof of payment for the membership to exec@ieeebcit.org
  2. Indicate your name, your option and term, and IEEE membership number in the email
  3. Must be currently a BCIT student.

 

To be eligible, you must have paid for your membership on or after November 1, 2015. We will then contact you to finalize the reimbursement.

 

Please note that this offer cannot be combined with any promotion and does not apply to renewals.
