The Reinstatement Policy is the path for former members to rejoin and recover their certification. The process can occur at any time during the year. The reinstatement process is for a previous member who wants to rejoin as a Certified Member or for an Alumni Member who wants to move out of Alumni into Certified Membership status.

Note:

• The reinstatement process is the same for all disciplines.
• Individuals who wish to re-join PSIA-AASI, without regaining their certification credentials, may do so as a Registered Member, or as an Alumni member (if you were previously a certified member for six (6) or more years). Members also have the option to repeat the certification process if they would like another way to become an active certified member.
• If you are an Alumni Member and want to move membership status to Certified Member, please refer to the alumni reinstatement policy.

Alumni Reinstatement Policy

The Reinstatement Policy is the path for former members to rejoin and recover their prior certification. The process can occur at any time during the year. The alumni reinstatement process is for an Alumni Member who wants to move out of Alumni status to Certified Membership status.

Note:

• The reinstatement process is the same for all disciplines.
• If wishing to rejoin PSIA-AASI and do not want to pursue or maintain a certification, rejoining can be done as an Alumni Member (if qualifications are met) or as a Registered Member and bypass the reinstatement process.
• If currently an Alumni Member and want to move membership status to Certified Member, please refer to the alumni reinstatement policy.

This is a one-time opportunity.
