FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why are you making this change to annual membership?

This change allows more people to give to an area of Auburn that they are passionate about. Not requiring annual membership will allow you to support whatever Auburn project might be most important to you, from the EAGLES program to wheelchair basketball to your local Auburn Club. Visit here to make your 100% tax-deductible gift.

What benefits will be continued?

Annual and Life members will continue to receive existing benefits, including exclusive access to events, issues of Auburn Magazine and the university’s Ralph Brown Draughon Library resources.

Life members will continue to receive scholarship eligibility for their children.

I'm currently paying toward my Life membership. What does this mean for me?

You will continue your payment plan, but you are also welcome to pay off your balance or your next installment by visiting aub.ie/installment. Email aualumni@auburn.edu for membership details as needed.

Can I still support the Auburn Alumni Association?

Yes! There are so many opportunities to support the alumni association through scholarship or program support. See your options.

I agreed to pay five annual installments to complete my life membership. I have missed a payment. What should I do?

Payments are due the same month each year, and payment reminders are sent via mail, email, and phone calls. After a payment is 30 days late, your membership status is inactivated, and you no longer receive membership benefits. To reopen your membership, you will need to pay any past-due installments to update your payment schedule. Installment payments that were made over five years ago cannot be credited toward a new life membership.

Email our records department at aurecords@auburn.edu. Memberships are closed after a person’s death and are not transferrable.
