The questions we get asked most. Anything not answered here, email info@miclca.org.
Membership is open to learning center professionals at any postsecondary institution operating in Michigan: faculty, staff, and students. That includes writing center directors and consultants, math and science learning center staff, tutoring and Supplemental Instruction coordinators, academic coaches, TRIO and student success staff, testing center staff, and disability and accessibility services colleagues whose work touches academic support. You do not have to work somewhere that calls itself a learning center.
Professional membership is $35 a year. Student membership is $10. Emeritus membership is $10. Lifetime memberships, awarded for service to the profession, carry no dues.
July 1 through June 30, regardless of when you join. A membership purchased in March runs through June 30 of that same year.
Voting rights in association elections, eligibility to hold office and serve on committees, the statewide learning center directory, and access to MICLCA programming. That currently includes an online session on Thursday, October 15, 2026, 12:00 noon to 1:30 PM ET, and the inaugural annual conference on Monday, May 17, 2027 at Wayne State University in Detroit. Members register for the conference at $35 less than the nonmember rate, which means the conference discount covers the cost of membership.

Email info@miclca.org and tell us what to fix. The directory was compiled from institutions’ own public web pages, so gaps and stale links are expected. You do not need to be a member to have an entry corrected, added, or removed.
