Allied Members
Allied Members receive the resources of a professional society as they develop their interior design career. Eligible individuals are practicing interior designers who have completed 40 semester or 60 quarter credit hours in interior design education from an accredited institution (university, college or technical school). Continuing education coursework/hours do not count toward meeting the education requirement for membership.
Allied Membership Requirements
Official college transcript and/or technical school records verifying course completion and credit hours obtained.
The correct use of the ASID appellation supports the value of membership. All members agree to follow specific guidelines, including the use of the Society's name when identifying themselves to the public.
ASID now requires practitioner members to complete 0.6 CEUs every two years to maintain their membership.
