Applying for Membership
The NYSCLA subscription year runs from January to December, and the turnaround time for new applications is approximately 3 weeks. To become a member, you are required to provide your name, email address, postal address, and complete a number of additional questions.
Upon submitting your application, you will be asked to make payment online, via check, or using an electronic payment method for the remainder of the subscription year. Your subscription will then renew every January.
Applications received in November and December follow the same process; however, no payment is required at that stage and approval will not be completed until January.

Membership Renewal
When will I be notified of my membership renewal?
As the subscription year runs from January to December, the renewal process begins in November each year. An automated email is sent on November 1st asking members to check and update their details. Updates must be completed by November 30th. Confirmation emails are then issued on December 1st, followed by invoices on January 1st. All renewal emails are sent from no-reply@nyscla.com, so please check your spam/junk folder and add this email to your safe contacts list.
Access and Login
When will I have access to the site and resources?
Once your membership is approved, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to the member area. Reset your password when logging in for the first time.
I do not know my login details

What should I do if I cannot log in?
