Frequently asked questions about membership
Q. I am a AAAG member who currently has a print subscription to Human Biology. How can I change this to an electronic subscription?
A. Send your request along with your email address to the AAAG Secretary-Treasurer.
Q. Why is the "Recurring, Annual Subscription" option for membership no longer available?
A. Recurring, annual subscription rates were too low to justify the use of this feature.
Q. How can I cancel my recurring, annual membership?
A. To cancel a subscription made using your PayPal account, you will need to log onto your PayPal account. From there, you can cancel your subscription.
Q. Do you refund cancelled memberships?
A. No, refunds are not available.
Q. Why are some membership prices higher for members outside of the United States?
A. The publishers of Human Biology charge $87 for international shipping. Our membership charge for people outside of the U.S. who subscribe to the print version of the journal reflects the international shipping charge. The AAAG does not have a say in this charge. Electronic subscriptions are available to international and domestic members. Electronic subscriptions do not include a subscription charge.
Q. Why are you using PayPal? Why can't AAAG process my credit card directly?
A. After much consideration, we decided that PayPal is the most appropriate system for an organization of our size.
Q. I don't want to use PayPal. What other payment options are available?
A. You are welcome to send a check or money order to pay for AAAG membership. For instructions on using this option, please see the Membership page.
Q. To which membership year is my payment applied?
A. Membership is from January 1 - December 31. Payments received before October 1 are applied to the current membership year unless you tell us otherwise. Payments received on or after October 1 are applied to the upcoming membership year unless you tell us otherwise. Please send any special instruction about payment to the Secretary Treasurer when you make your payment.
