Becoming a Member

In order to become a member of ACS, the joining organization (or individual) must print, fill out, and sign two copies of the Membership Agreement and Software License Agreement for the Association for Computer-assisted Surveys.

There are two main versions of the Agreement. If you want to use CASES (and SDA for Fee categories B-K) please download the CASES version. If you are interested in using SDA only (Categories L-O) please download the SDA version. Category L members (services only, no software) have the option of using the Short Agreement form.

NOTE:  If you are part of another University of California campus, please contact us and let us know which campus.

The Agreement is in PDF format and you must have Adobe® Acrobat® Reader™ installed on your PC in order to print it.

When the Agreements have been signed by the University of California, Berkeley campus Director of Technology Licensing, CSM keeps one copy and the second copy is returned to the member.  CSM also sends an invoice to the member for the appropriate fee category.   

The CASES or SDA software will be available for download only after all of the following conditions have been met:
1)Both parties have signed the Agreement. Any changes made to the terms of the Agreement may delay signature;
2)Any terms added during the course of payment have been accepted by both parties; and
3)Payment of the fees has been received. At CSM’s discretion, a Purchase Order may be acceptable.
