Student Members: Students are automatically upgraded within 30 days of their indicated baccalaureate, masters, or doctoral graduation date. Students should confirm their contact information and education status using this form.
Note: International membership is available at all grades, but due to varying qualifications, the upgrade process involved for those overseas may be slightly different. While you may join online, if your college is not listed in the online process, you may also need to submit the online Membership Advancement Form, along with your resume/CV, and any other relevant qualifications.
If you wish to join ASCE in the same (offline) process, you will need to submit an application form at the same time. Please contact [email protected] if you need one.
ASCE staff will review the information provided and notify you if any additional information is required. Your materials will be reviewed by the Membership Application Review Committee (MARC) at their next monthly meeting.
International members may be eligible for an annual dues discount based upon the World Bank Development Indicators. Dues for new or reinstated members are also prorated depending on when the application is received. New and reinstated members should use the dues calculator below to determine their dues price.
If you are uncertain of your eligibility or would like to request a waiver of the criteria, use this Member Advancement Form.

ASCE’s Guidelines for Engineering Grades was created to help engineers and their employers recognize an engineer’s level of professional development and career advancement. The guidelines outline the knowledge, skills, and responsibilities associated with engineers at each grade.
The ASCE Guidelines for Engineering Grades Comparison Tool is an interactive online tool that lets you compare requirements across up to three different grades at once.
